About the Programme
The course will provide knowledge about how the concept of "welfare and well-being" (based on philosophy, science and ethics) can contribute to aligning organizations towards greater social responsibility and more sustainable development.
Job opportunities
Through the course participants will improve their ability to understand and work with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG’s) in key organizational strategies. The participants will have the opportunity to develop and apply new ethical and moral perspectives, with relevance to the debate on sustainable development and the environment. This can be a critical competence for a number of businesses that must survive in a changing society.
The ethics will be carefully reviewed in light of politics, social justice, economics and ecology. In particular, the Nordic eco philosophers’ contribution to environmental ethics will be highlighted. The course will emphasize how philosophy, science and ethics can be linked together and thus contribute to a more sustainable society for the good of people, the environment, welfare and well-being.
To achieve the Sustainable Development Goals, managers need knowledge of practical tools, approaches and perspectives.
