Vision
The Master’s program aims to train professionals capable of independently managing all aspects related to social responsibility and sustainability within companies, public administration, and the non-profit sector.
Thanks to a strongly multidisciplinary approach, participants will develop the ability to navigate various social responsibility management strategies and to independently implement the legal, administrative, and accounting procedures currently required by law or made indispensable by ethical considerations and the expectations of consumers and stakeholders, particularly in internationalization processes.
Mission
The training need in this subject stems from the requirement for companies and organizations to develop the capacity to manage a variety of procedures recently introduced at the global, European Union, and national levels, which are currently not covered by traditional university curricula.
The very nature of these procedures (due diligence plans; environmental and social impact assessments; supply chain control systems; preparation of accounting documents containing non-financial information, etc.) necessitates a teaching approach strongly characterized by the collaboration of academic faculty with high-level experts and professionals from regulatory bodies and businesses.
This course has adopted this approach and further enriches the learning path by offering seminars aimed at developing so-called soft skills; support for project work activities; and participation in company internships.
Upon completion of the Master’s program, participants—being experts in sustainability and social responsibility topics—will be qualified to manage these issues within professional and consulting firms, in various organizational departments of private companies and public entities, or to independently formulate the CSR policy of an organization, or even to establish and lead an autonomous department dedicated to managing related matters.
