​​What does it mean to lead responsibly on a global scale? This module explores that question through an immersive, values-driven learning experience. 

​Delivered fully online in partnership with the Globally Responsible Leadership Initiative (GRLI), the module draws on content from partner institutions around the world. Topics span business strategies for regenerative and sustainable transformation, sustainability reporting and marketing, social justice and equity in leadership, responsible supply chains, systems thinking, and cross-disciplinary collaboration. 

​Learning is built around self-paced online units, each led by a different GRLI partner institution. Activities include recorded content, readings, and reflective exercises. Optional scheduled sessions are also available, providing opportunities for peer learning and dialogue with students from other institutions across the globe. 

​The University of Dundee leads a unit on Sustainability Marketing and Reporting as part of the shared course.
