KEMI 2EN02 - The Drivers for a sustainable capitalism

Capitalism is confronted with big problems : rising inequalities, uncontrolled consequences of climate changes, increasing human pressure on basic resources, ermerging risks such as pandemics, rising populist movements. The yellow vests protests in France have revealed how deeply undermined the social contract is in our liberal democracies. Business as usual is therefore no longer an option if we seek to deliver sustainable, inclusive, and resilient prosperity. Still, capitalism is an extraordinary machinery to create value and allocate scarce resources efficiently. The objective then is to change the rules of the game to make the transition happen. The course aims at providing future generation of business leaders with the appropriate toolkit to find profitable solutions to fix the big problems of people and the planet.
