Abstract:
The Universitat Jaume I (UJI) of Castellón, Spain and the National Distance Education University (UNED) are teaching together the Master's Degree in Corporate Sustainability and Social Responsibility. The main objective is to study the concepts of sustainability and corporate social responsibility (CSR) and their multiple dimensions in more depth. The course emphasizes the applicability of existing management and assessment tools, the policies and strategies implemented at all organizational levels involving CSR, and the mechanisms for dialogue and interaction with the main stakeholders and interest groups.

This master’s degree aims to train professionals to practically apply the approach of ethics, sustainability and social and environmental responsibility to existing business models, and to other public and private organizations, such as not-for profit organizations and government public bodies.

The master is composed of different courses. One of them is the information systems to support enterprise sustainability course.
