Free online course on "Sustainability and Business Innovation" by SAP
Dear Sir/Madam,
we would like to inform you about a fabulous online course on “Sustainability and Business Innovation” offered for free by SAP. SAP is a large business software company and widely regarded as a global sustainability leader. In fact, we are transforming ourselves and help other companies do the same. In the process, we learned quite a lot about the present and the future of corporate sustainability.
SAP will share this knowledge with you in a free, massive open online course! It was offered last year for the first time and more than 13,000 learners joined. Now it is being offered again in preparation for an extended course in Q2 2016.
The course covers key learnings from the sustainability journey of SAP and its customers. For example:
· How companies go beyond philanthropy and environmentalism to drive significant business value from sustainability
· How more sustainable practices create innovation, competitive advantage, reduce risk and cost as well as drive growth
· How to articulate, embed and execute a sustainable strategy at the company in which you are or will be working
· How to build the business case and how to sell it to executives
The course covers best practices in sustainability, from strategy, to business cases, business processes, engagement and reporting. It is free of charge and takes place from September 9 until October 29, 2015. Upon successful completion participants will receive a record of achievement from SAP.
Since this course is of special interest for students in the field of IT, Business Administration, Sustainability/Corporate Social Responsibility, Development Studies etc. and your university is offering some of these studies, it would be great if you could help spread the word among your students and professors.

Kind regards
SAP’s Sustainability Team
