Recently, Agenda 2030 promoted 17 goals to achieve globally the Sustainable Development. There is the need to prepare the next generation of managers and entrepreneurs to make the difference, becoming pro-active actors for changement.
The course examines principles, models, and tools concerning business ethics and sustainable development. The contents, refer also to the Agenda 2030 and are proposed through a triple approach that integrates three different perspectives: legal (Prof.ssa Sole), economic (Prof. De Muro) and managerial (Prof.ssa Renzi). The course aims to promote among the students the awareness about ethical issues and the ability to recognize and adopt sustainable and ethical behaviour in carrying out the managerial practices.
