Current times are notable for the stand taken by human beings vis-à-vis some of the topics that challenge their future, such as climate change and inequality within and among nations. Due to the fundamental role they play in development companies have been called upon to take on increasingly broad responsibilities in their relations with their stakeholders. That is why it is so important to set up the kind of management that can balance its responses to the demands it faces: responsible management.
A company's responsible management strives for its sustainability, for that of the people that work for it, and for that of the systems that surround it. Responsible performance has become a criterion consumers use when making their choices. It has also become an important condition to obtain credit from financing institutions and a differentiating factor in international Stock Exchanges. All of this leads to a demand by society that companies should look at management from a broader perspective by harmonizing three fundamental pillars: economic prosperity, environmental quality and social development.
Developing the solution
The sustainability theme can be a stage within other educational solutions, or the company may opt to build a specific program dedicated to it.
The solution will take into account the strategic challenges in the business context within which the company is inserted, as well at its capacity to balance its responses to the different audiences it relates to. Through such balance, an educational solution can be built that is guided by values and practices that will seek company sustainability according to the indispensable sustainability that surrounds it.
