Sustainability Reporting Tools

In this course, students will be given an overview of sustainability reporting tools used in enterprise and explore several reporting tools in greater detail. This course will introduce students to the terminology and primary components of these tools, as well as how to apply them to enterprises. Texts, original research articles and case studies will make up the basis of course material. Students will be expected to engage each other using materials from lecture, reading and their own experiences and perspectives.

.This course requires both asynchronous work as well as meeting synchronously for 3-hour sessions on Zoom on four Saturdays throughout the quarter. Students are expected to self-manage asynchronous work and come prepared to engage in every Saturday workshop throughout the course Saturday meeting dates and times are as follows: Saturday, April 6th 9AM-12PM PST; Saturday, April 27th 9AM-12PM PST; Saturday, May 18th 9AM-12PM PST; and Saturday, June 8th 9AM-12PM PST.

Our study will require 10 hours of out-of-classroom work per week for weeks we do not meet synchronously and 3 hours of synchronous work and 7 out-of-classroom hours of work for weeks we have a Saturday synchronous session. Technology required for successful engagement includes high speed internet and a computer (not just a cell phone) for Canvas; Zoom (including breakout rooms with audio and video), and MS Office 365 including One-Drive. Students will also need to be able to conduct online research. If students find themselves unable to participate due to technology, caregiving obligations, economic disruption, health risk, or illness, they should be pro-active in working with faculty. This course is offered through Complete Online Learning. This is the second of three courses that must be taken in sequential order which comprise the Strategic Sustainability Reporting Certificate.
