Thursday, 21 Aug, 2010 0

The University for Peace Centre for Executive Education is returning to London to offer a 2-day intensive workshop on sustainable business.

The two day course explores theory and best practice in leading successful sustainable organisations. It is valuable for anyone looking to plan and implement sustainability / corporate responsibility initiatives and engage with stakeholders.

The course offers insight from industry experts and covers core themes including: leadership, organisational and behavioural change, cross-sector partnerships, communications and stakeholder engagement, and microfinance and social intrapreneurship.
 

This year’s course includes the following guest speakers:

  • Laura Somoggi, Unilever – World Food Programme Partnership, discussing Unilever’s partnership with the UN to provide food to hungry school children in the developing world.
  • Imogen Martineau, UNEP – Sustainable United Nations, talking about the challenges she’s faced in greening the huge international organization that is the UN.
  • Henry Gonzalez, Investment Management – Morgan Stanley – talking about life as a social intrapreneur and how he helped found microfinance at Morgan Stanley.

Participants receive a certificate from the UN mandated UPEACE Centre and membership to an international alumni network.

The course is jointly facilitated by UPEACE and Ideal Media who work with leaders from around the world to offer the knowledge, perspective and skills to prepare them to be more effective in their professional environments, with a new spirit of understanding, cooperation, and sensitivity to our global interconnectedness.

This is one of a series of international workshops and seminars that have previously been offered just at Upeace’s headquarters in Costa Rica.   

The workshop takes place in London on October 7-8th.
