Master Program: Masters in Sustainability and Responsbility (AMSR)
Learning purpose
This programme is the result of the conviction at Ashridge that leaders of both the present and the future, in business as in the community, will need to engage with the challenge we call 'sustainability' and in a way that recognises social as well as ecological justice.
With a unique combination of change, leadership and sustainability, learning comes through the use and development of personal practices. It challenges, supports and encourages debate about business and organisational responsibility.
The programme is a journey of self-discovery, evolving and providing the role of change for the future. It is designed to enable you to take more effective action in the areas of sustainability and responsibility that concern you the most personally and professionally.
Target audience
This exciting Ashridge programme is aimed at anyone concerned with ensuring that organisations are both profitable and responsible and who seeks to engage in the growing international debate about sustainability and corporate responsibility. The programme is intended for business people; consultants; activists; public sector managers and NGO professionals.
