MBA - Energy and Sustainability (Robert Kennedy College)
The importance of energy management in business has never been more critical, not only because of the direct costs, but increasingly due to the pressure on companies to be seen to be conscientious custodians through a responsible approach to sustainability, as demonstrated by their Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) standards. The MBA Energy and Sustainability programme creates distinctive managers with a solid understanding of business functions, such as organisational behaviour, marketing and strategic management, combined with a focused knowledge of latest developments designed to increase the ESG awareness of managers, specifically as it relates to energy, and to improve their management capabilities in critical areas, recognising the increasing importance to organisations of sustainability, and the specific challenges
within the energy sector.
