Sustainability, in its simplest form, is the capacity to endure. This is predicated on communities and businesses - enterprises of all sizes - to operate not at the expense of the future, but in favor of the future.

With a Sustainable Enterprise Certificate (SEC) from Atkinson Graduate School of Management, you’ll help guide the ‘sustainability conversation’ from theory toward action and meaningful collaboration...

  • You’ll gain a fresh perspective on the most effective leverage points, and how best to move swiftly into action.
  • You’ll couple theory with application, an open mind with a new paradigm, and clear planning with data-driven decision making.
  • You’ll advance your thought process while accelerating your career.

In short, the SEC provides a space to challenge your assumptions, to cultivate your leadership capacity, and to catalyze real change throughout your organization and entire value chain.

An Original Approach.

The Sustainable Enterprise Certificate program takes a unique approach to presenting the interconnectedness of social well-being, financial integrity, and environmental health. This is done in a way that will integrate all areas of sustainability by first focusing on the dynamics of complex systems, followed by a practical look at social systems and how the expansion of social well-being ties directly to economic and environmental well-being. At the end, you’ll emerge with an integrated understanding of sustainable business practices, an invigorating paradigm shift, and a refined ability to contextualize challenges in their larger systems.

A Flexible Environment.

With the time-challenged professional in mind, the SEC is structured to encourage you to apply each session’s learning to your daily work.  You’ll then come to the next session with new questions, ready for new insight.  Along with your cohort of experienced peers, you’ll develop an adaptive perspective that will benefit your leadership capacity and propel your professional growth.

A Transformative Opportunity.
Step outside the bounds of traditional thinking with the Atkinson Graduate School of Management’s Sustainable Enterprise Certificate.
