Berkeley Summer Abroad: Business Innovation in Geneva, Switzerland

As corporations have grown in influence, concerns over their impact on people and the planet have also grown – pushing sustainability, social responsibility, and the wider impact of business into the spotlight. Yet business is also a source of economic growth, innovation, and positive impact.

• Develop models for gauging the impact of business decisions on the environment, workers, vendors, and communities
• Hear firsthand from a variety of executives and NGO
This program explores the interdependency by looking at what drives innovation in business, exploring the issues of sustainability, labor, stakeholder responsibility and impact from a business perspective, and assessing those same issues from the NGO and governmental perspective.
