We will also learn that competitive advantages are the flip side of sustainability risks. By adopting a sustainability driven perspective, a firm can transform these potentially crippling challenges into profitable opportunities, benefiting both itself and society. We will also study multiple frameworks on how to assess these challenges and adapt those frameworks to fit the issues at hand.
