International businesses must navigate an increasingly complex environment encompassing different laws, ethics, social movements, stakeholders, social and environmental responsibilities, consumers, and policies. These differences associated with operating across borders places immense pressure on an international business to consider their environmental impact and responsibility both upstream and downstream, of which is extensively more complex than that of a local-operating business. This unit examines the shifting mindset from profit maximising to acting as a responsible business. It explores how an international business can assess, manage and improve their operations to be accountable and transparent in relation to key global social and environmental challenges and opportunities including transitioning to a net-zero global economy, the United Nation's SDGs, biodiversity and modern slavery. On completion of this unit, students have enhanced skills and knowledge relevant to the understanding of how international businesses can be socially and environmentally responsible and sustainable.
