Kommentare/ Inhalte: In 2015, all 193 member states of the United Nations adopted the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, which includes a set of 17 global Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). These ambitious, interdependent goals aim to tackle the major environmental, social and economic challenges of our time. All member states committed to achieving them by the year 2030.
However, the SDGs are not only the responsibility of governments. Achieving the goals will require transformative change involving proactive effort and collaborative partnerships between many types of stakeholders, in both the public and private sectors. In particular, the private sector is included as a vital stakeholder and contributor to the SDGs, by helping to provide innovative solutions to grand challenges. In this practical seminar, you will learn about the SDGs and the role of business in achieving them.
Lernziel: 1. Know the 17 SDGs, their related targets and why they matter.
2. Understand the important role of business in contributing to the SDGs and sustainable development.
3. Understand and identify the interconnectedness of the SDGs, and the implications of this interconnectedness for business organizations.
4. Through a practical case study, critically identify the impacts and evaluate the effectiveness of a current business organization in contributing to the SDGs.
Vorgehen: The seminar has a HYBRID in-presence/digital format:
1. Live online kick-off session (via Zoom) on Saturday, 15th of April at 10:00 AM.
2. Self-paced digital lectures (pre-recorded videos and lecture PDFs in OpenOlat).
3. In presence student presentations on two dates: Saturday, 1st of July and Saturday, 8th of July.

During the kick-off session on 15th April, you will receive information on the course practicalities, course project and presentation. At the end of the session, you will also be given the opportunity to meet your fellow course participants in separate Zoom breakout rooms and find a group partner.
Zusätzliche Hinweise zu Prüfungen: The presentation is the basis for the course grading (100%).
Students will work together in groups of two. Students will select a company case for analysis and work outside of the scheduled course appointments. Students will then present their findings in July.
