Social Justice, Impact, and Responsibility Course
On-Demand Courses
This module looks at how three concepts of social sustainability (basic human needs, equity, and human rights) apply to a variety of stakeholder groups. Both individual enterprises and communities collectively are working to address these issues and are using diverse social sustainability indicators to help build and implement successful sustainability strategies.
Common social performance indicators for enterprises include such concerns as diversity, income inequality, workplace health and injury rates, and the labor practices of suppliers. Common government indicators, on the other hand, include poverty rates, school enrollment rates, and access to healthcare.
