Amid the dynamic shifts in the modern business landscape, companies increasingly focus on 'sustainable' growth to tackle environmental harms, address global inequality and inequity, focus on inclusivity, and respond to the rising concerns of regulators and society. Businesses are pushing to become more agile and environmentally conscious while embracing Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) to support sustainable growth.
The Executive Programme in Corporate Sustainability (EPCS) addresses these complex issues by equipping learners with essential capabilities and insights into global best practices. This enables them to steer their organisations towards ethical and sustainable growth.
Designed by an IIM Calcutta faculty group, this 12-month comprehensive corporate sustainability online course empowers professionals to embed a sustainability framework into everyday business activities, decision-making processes, and strategic visions. The programme will be delivered through LIVE interactive sessions, use cases, an SDGs-driven curriculum, integrative business simulations, and campus visits.
The Indian Institute of Management Calcutta was established as the first national institute for Post Graduate Studies and Research in Management by the Government of India in November 1961, in collaboration with Alfred P. Sloan School of Management (MIT), the Government of West Bengal, The Ford Foundation, and the Indian Industry. Over the years, IIM Calcutta has grown into an institution of global repute, imparting high-quality management education. It has been playing a pioneering role in professionalising Indian management through its Post Graduate and Doctoral level Programmes, Executive Training Programmes, Research, and Consulting Activities. IIM Calcutta is one of only three triple-accredited business schools in India and the first to get the recognition. In addition, it is also the only business school in India that is a part of the CEMS Global Alliance in Management Education. For more information, www.iimcal.ac.in.
