Institute for Corporate Sustainability

November 7-9, 2012
Holloway Commons at the University of New Hampshire: Durham
 
Join us this November for a unique opportunity!

The Institute for Corporate Sustainability is a three day “boot camp” on practical topics within corporate sustainability. Learn the “why, what, and how” of corporate social responsibility program implementation for your organization.

The program is designed for mid- to senior-level executives within small, medium or large businesses. Our experienced, recognized instructors come from a variety of fields and areas of expertise. The sessions are team-taught to maximize academic content with practical application in the field.

Participants are asked to complete the NHBSR Self-Assessment Tool prior to the Institute, as well as read a packet of materials.

Independent Capstone Program

The Capstone Mentor Program, occurring after the completion of the Institute program, allows participants to design and implement their own formal sustainability project within their place of business over the course of 4-6 months.

Participants are paired with experienced practitioners who will serve as mentors throughout the implementation process. In addition, participants are offered opportunities to meet with each other in facilitated networking sessions to compare notes, offer advice and support their classmates with their project.
 
Students will be issued the Certificate in Corporate Sustainability following completion of the Capstone Mentor program.
