Corporate Sustainability Education—A Case Study
Sustainable development is a global issue. It affects every person and every organization, including the private sector. The latter has an important role to play in implementing sustainable development goals by contributing resources, knowledge, and expertise often not available to individuals or public entities. Such actions require continuous education and training. This article seeks to investigate the role of training in the implementation of sustainability strategy in the private sector, and to identify key contributors to the effective use of training as a tool for articulating and implementing a corporate sustainability strategy. The research method used is a case study; it concerns one corporation (Capgemini) that procured university‐delivered sustainability training and collaborated with the university on its design. According to the study findings, sustainability training should be designed and rolled out to support corporate sustainability strategy as an effective tool in the articulation and implementation of the strategy. University‐developed sustainability training gives access to unique research and expertise and can be collaboratively developed to be integrated into corporate strategy and ways of working, thus exemplifying the integration of theory into practice.
