- Module 2: Principles of Sustainable DevelopmentSustainable development is a method of advancing a country’s economy without jeopardizing future generations’ access to a healthier environment. Land degradation, soil erosion, water contamination, air pollution, deforestation, and other forms of environmental destruction are compensated for by economic expansion.1

It’s also worth noting that, although dealing with polar different ends of the spectrum, both poor and developed countries may benefit from sustainable development.1
- Module 6: Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)Corporate social responsibility (CSR) refers to how businesses conduct their operations in order to have a good influence on society. It includes topics such as sustainability, social impact, and ethics, and when done well, it should be about core business — how firms generate money – rather than frills like philanthropy.1
