This course explores the emerging trend of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG), with a focus on the unique opportunities it presents for the nonprofit sector. As the demand for sustainable development continues to grow, the holistic management of organizations, encompassing business and nonprofits alike, is becoming increasingly vital. Students will develop an understanding of ESG history, ESG principles, ESG practices, the global ESG landscape, and the drivers of adoption and promotion by both business and nonprofits. With the help of lectures, case studies, interactive discussions, guest speakers and group activities, students will learn how to embrace the new opportunities brought by ESG and how to effectively integrate ESG practices into nonprofits, creating lasting social and environmental impact and mitigating risks.
