Sustainability is a word for our time. It is vital for the business world and economy. Sustainability is a global challenge, which requires collective action from government, businesses and citizens. As King Charles III recently commented the “…most existential challenge of all [is] that of global warming, climate change and the catastrophic destruction of nature”. There is a constant political focus on ensuring that business is transparent and accountable in respect of sustainable development. Business leaders, global corporates and SME businesses are acting to clean their production and take part in the green transition. They recognise that ‘good business is good business’. 80% of business leaders are positive about the green transition, considering that it offers more opportunities and jobs than challenges to employment. Yet, only half of businesses are implementing staff-related green skills programmes. The shortage of green skills is creating a bottleneck towards enhanced sustainability. Liverpool Hope Business School has a two-decade track record in teaching and researching on good business and sustainability. We look at business sustainability under the rubric of 4 Ps: People, Purpose, Planet and Profit. Consequently, in studying on our new Masters in Business Sustainability you will be ideally placed to secure employment in businesses that need further expertise in meeting the sustainability challenge, both in relation to the green transition and in-the-round.
