Abstract
The educational program layout operationalizes the foundational historical and E-S-G pillar frameworks over a strict timeline of 20 lecture hours, 10 seminar hours, and 84 independent study hours. The course guides undergraduate students sequentially through the historical development of sustainability mindsets before deep-diving into individual strategic pillars. Applied skills are reinforced via targeted group defense tracks (including the regional "AIM2Flourish" framework), data-driven emissions blueprinting, and formal corporate disclosure transparency audits.
Learning Objectives
- Deconstruct the Evolution of Sustainability Mindsets: To equip undergraduate students with a deep, chronological understanding of how business ethics and corporate purpose evolved from 1960s shareholder primacy to modern stakeholder capitalism, the UN SDGs, and Russia's National Priorities.
- Master the Strategic Environmental (E) Management Domain: To train students to evaluate enterprise-wide environmental risks, master carbon accounting frameworks (Scopes 1, 2, and 3), analyze resource circularity, and quantify the hidden infrastructure footprints of digital transitions (such as AI engines).
- Evaluate Socio-Ethical Corporate Ecosystems (S): To develop the capacity to design and assess internal human capital policies, construct ethical value-chain procurement models, and differentiate the distinct strategic constraints of large-cap corporate social platforms from social entrepreneurship and sustainable SMEs.
- Analyze Governance Integrity and Reporting Compliance (G): To introduce core corporate governance mechanisms (such as board structures and ESG-linked compensation) and train students to navigate global non-financial disclosure tables (GRI Content Indexes) to verify reporting transparency and mitigate corporate greenwashing risks.
Expected Learning Outcomes
- 1) Critical Thinking: Critically analyze and assess the impact of various business practices on sustainability and ESG criteria.
- 2) Holistic Mindset: Formulate and propose comprehensive sustainability and ESG strategies tailored to specific industries or companies using informed decision-making.
- 3) Managerial Dashboarding: Apply tools and techniques from business informatics to collect and interpret data related to sustainability and ESG performance.
- 4) Ethical Consideration: Recognize and evaluate the ethical implications of business decisions related to sustainability and responsibility.
- 5) Collaborative Problem-Solving: Work effectively in teams to propose innovative solutions to real-world sustainability challenges, emphasizing stakeholder engagement and community impact.
