The Globally Responsible Leadership for Sustainable Transformation is an international postgraduate programme from the GRLI initiative - The Globally Responsible Leadership Initiative, which received recognition from the Financial Times as part of the Responsible Business Education Awards.
Professors from seven GRLI universities in Asia, Europe, and North America teach this innovative and collaborative programme. In Portugal, Católica Porto Business School is GRLI’s associated partner in this programme and is responsible for the module dedicated to intersectoral partnerships and their positive impacts.
The Globally Responsible Leadership for Sustainable Transformation is part of the executive education offered at Católica Porto Business School. This international programme was highlighted by the Financial Times as “highly recommended” in the category of “Best responsible teaching resources: innovative materials with a financial sustainability focus.”
For Raquel Campos Franco, professor and coordinator of the programme at Católica Porto Business School, “the course is not only an excellent opportunity to learn about the most recent topics related to sustainability in sessions promoted by several international business schools, but it also allows for close contact with participants from various geographies, greatly enriching the experience with different realities, practices and ways of thinking.”
Alexandra Leitão, professor and associate dean for Global Education at Católica Porto Business School, adds, “It is worth highlighting the international collaborative nature associated with this course, not only in terms of programme design and articulation of content but also in terms of work between participants for the development of a concrete project associated with a sector and company.”
Focusing on sustainability initiatives, the “Globally Responsible Leadership for Sustainable Transformation” programme comprises several modules that allow students worldwide to work in integrated groups on strategic business projects. Teresa Bianchi de Aguiar, one of the national participants, also highlights some aspects of this programme. See which ones:
