Driving Sustainable Transformation
This course provides a comprehensive understanding of the leadership styles and roles of the Chief Sustainability Officer, designing the organisation for sustainability, stakeholder engagement methods, and developing a sustainable culture.
Introduction to Functional Textile Design and Sustainable Manufacturing
Computer Numerical Control (CNC) knitted products have become increasingly prevalent in everyday life over the past few years, manifesting in domains that are both design-oriented (sweaters and shoe uppers) and engineering-oriented (seat covers and vehicle chassis preforms etc.). Using design inputs, the machine’s loop-by-loop formation enables users to create shaped geometries with different localised properties in a single manufacturing step. Thus, this broadens the design freedom to create a variety of technical textiles with functional properties that can be used for different industries. Moreover, this additive manufacturing technique presents a sustainable method of creating textiles without depending on conventional cut-and-sew processes.
Low Carbon Design and Operations
This course provides sustainability professionals with the necessary knowledge and skills to implement a circular economy, manage supply chains sustainably, and design low-carbon operations.
Managing Emerging Risks in the Green Economy: Deploying ERM to Manage Exposures to Achieve Sustainability Objectives
This workshop will provide participants with the knowledge and skills necessary to develop an effective Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) programme to manage sustainability risks.
Strategic Approaches to Sustainability
This course seeks to equip sustainability professionals with the foundational knowledge required to build a sustainability strategy. By first looking into the history and drivers of Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG), participants will develop a deeper understanding of various sustainability models such as corporate citizenship and Triple Bottom Line accounting, to eventually apply them to their own organisation.
Sustainability and the Circular Economy for Engineers and Designers
Sustainable engineering is the integration of social, environmental, and economic considerations in the design of products, processes, and engineered systems. This full-day interactive course introduces the concept of sustainability – both theory and applications – to engineers and designers. Participants will learn of tools available to perform life-cycle assessment (LCA), guided by real-life case studies. Takeaways include a perspective on resource circularity, sustainable design, maintenance, and operations of products and systems.
Sustainability Reporting
The course covers both the key concepts and the practice of corporate sustainability in the modern organisation, with a focus on external reporting (e.g. sustainability reporting) and performance assessment (e.g. Environmental, Social, & Governance (ESG) ratings).
