1. CSR course in the professional focus in the masters in management and business Engineering
Within their studies, all master students at the LSM (Louvain-la-Neuve and Mons campuses) must complete a course on the relevant principles and practices of Corporate Social Responsibility. This course is offered in English, French, and Dutch.
From September 2017 to June 2023, students registered in the CSR class in Louvain-la-Neuve are invited to participate to the Sustainability Literacy Test (SULITEST) as an opportunity to raise their awareness to the multiple challenges linked to sustainability (see under the PRME Principle 3 – Methods).
2. Philippe de Woot Major in Corporate Sustainable Management
The major Philippe de Woot in Corporate Sustainability Management is an option of six courses offered in our two Master programmes – the Master in Management and the Master in Business Engineering. This major is named in honour of LSM emeritus professor Philippe de Woot, who during 40 years at the School was a precursor of the groundswell embodied today in the commitment to CSR among the best enterprises and management educators. The main goal was to keep alive his spirit and inspiring thought in the LSM.
This multidisciplinary major aims to develop competent and responsible leaders with a transversal view of the different management fields. This major offers a solid understanding of the complex dilemmas and the tools to develop agile and responsible organizational cultures and to implement effective compliance, business ethics and corporate sustainable management programmes.
Objectives
The objectives of this multidisciplinary major are : (1) to analyse how business organizations can learn how to use their resources not only efficiently but also in a sustainable and regenerative way and thus to integrate sustainability and responsibility thinking in corporate policies, strategies and practices, (2) to identify how this fundamental paradigmatic change in thinking about management can contribute to addressing effectively economic, environmental, societal and human sustainability challenges (such as climate change, human rights), (3) to provide appropriate understanding of the management tools needed to develop policies, strategies and practices which contribute not only to corporate sustainability but also to societal sustainable welfare and how these tools can be implemented and dealt with on a daily basis, (4) to stimulate students’ critical thinking about their role in a society confronted with sustainability challenges and paradoxical choice situations as individuals, consumers, future employees and corporate leaders.
