HBX, Harvard Business School’s digital learning initiative, is announcing the launch of its newest online certificate program, Sustainable Business Strategy. This course prepares participants to be purpose-centered business leaders and examines the critical role that business can play in solving some of the world’s big problems.

Participants in the online course will gain an appreciation for how business can play a catalytic role in helping solve some of the big issues of our time including climate change, income inequality, and social injustice. The course uses Harvard Business School’s interactive case method and the engaging HBX online platform to teach participants how to influence management, leadership, and other stakeholders as to the competitive advantages of being a purpose-driven firm.

“This course draws on the experience of firms that are navigating these challenges now to give you the tools to begin making a difference wherever you are in your career.” said Professor Henderson.

Sustainable Business Strategy consists of approximately 15 to 20 hours of material delivered via the innovative, student-centered HBX online learning platform over three weeks.
