Learn About Corporate Sustainability
Why Sustainability?
Sustainability is a business approach to create long-term value by taking into consideration how a given organization operates in the ecological, social and economic environment.
Developing sustainable strategies fosters company longevity and hence sustainability is imperative for all companies. Major brands such as Apple, Walmart, Nike, SAP, HP, H&M, IKEA and almost every other Fortune 500 company have led the way by investing in sustainability efforts.

STUDENT SPOTLIGHT
It’s more than just a career plan. It will help you evaluate what kind of professional you want to be, what kind of skills you want to develop. You are not just bringing home a certificate, but you are a better professional and a better person.
Katz presented a very strong program and reputation, while still feeling very personal. I feel just as passionately that the Katz faculty, staff, and alumni care about the individuals that they work with on a personal level.
