Professional Seminar in Sustainability
MIT Sloan's seminar brings in practitioners from companies and organizations actively working to make their operations, supply chains, and communities more sustainable. Sessions center on guest speakers describing real initiatives, covering topics like sustainable operations, product and market strategy, and corporate community responsibility. The course materials on MIT OpenCourseWare include the syllabus, session schedule, and readings tied to each guest's area of expertise, giving a sense of how sustainability questions play out across different industries and functions. Assignments ask students to reflect on and analyze the practices discussed, connecting classroom theory to what practitioners actually do inside their organizations. As an OpenCourseWare offering, the material is free to access, though it does not include video lectures or a certificate. It works best as a survey of current corporate sustainability practice rather than a deep technical treatment of the subject.
