Sustainable Business
Companies and individuals are seeking ways to do business more sustainably – a focus that reflects more than just the bottom line. Creative businesses are finding ways to be more efficient with the water and energy they use, and the waste they produce. They are adopting sustainable business strategies and you can too.
Providing learning and information for conducting business sustainably
Training modules for businesses
Wells Fargo in conjunction with Arizona State University has created a number of training programs to help businesses become more sustainable. It doesn’t matter if you run a small business or work for a large organization, there are online programs that can assist you in becoming more sustainable as a business.
We have resources to support and inform the entrepreneur just getting started, through to the company already beginning to report their sustainability efforts and wishing to take their sustainability practices to the next level.
Free lessons, micro-courses and micro-credentials
These training offerings are complementary micro-courses which cover the fundamentals of key topics such as organizational sustainability, circular economy, sustainable supply chains, sustainability reporting and more. These courses require no registration, and are available 100% online and free!
The first course will help anyone or any company lay the foundation for sustainability or social responsibility work. The second course on circular economy is a bit more theoretical, but also with plenty of ways to think about it in the context of your organization. The third course covers how supply chain management, sustainability, and social responsibility can work together to benefit companies.
More courses from Sustainable Earth for organizations, powered by ASU, will follow on subjects like advanced sustainability reporting, greener workspaces, zero waste, and more. The next set of complimentary self-paced e-learnings will build upon these existing courses, and enable learners to earn facilitated micro-credentials and certificates to advance both their organization and their career.
