Description
This course will provide an introduction to sustainable finance. Students will learn how to integrate environmental, social, and governance (ESG) issues into corporate decision-making and portfolio management.
The course presents the methodologies for analyzing and integrating environmental, social, and governance (ESG) criteria available to corporate financial decision-makers, investors, and portfolio managers. We will analyze the impact of ESG factors on the investment and financing decisions of these financial actors. Approaches to climate risk assessment and various measures of environmental footprint will be presented in terms of their uses and limitations.
The course will help student to be more familiar with the landscape of data providers and to understand the differences between the ESG ratings of different rating agencies.

Description
This course has a consumer and firm focus with an emphasis on integrating sustainability principles in both marketing theory and managerial decision-making. Concepts include how to conduct an analysis of socio-environmental priorities to complement conventional marketing research and the subsequent development of marketing strategies and tactics that are profitable and sustainable.
The global economic system in 20th century had operated on a throughput take-make-waste model. As economic growth stretches global resources, however, consumers are becoming more and more conscious of the importance of sustainability practices.
Marketing has a vital and unique role to play in creating a more sustainable society as most of consumers' and firms' material needs and many of our psychological needs are met through marketing systems.
Sustainable Marketing is the process of creating, communicating, and delivering value to customers in such a way that both the environment and human capital are preserved or enhanced throughout.
This course aims to provide a broad range of tools and frameworks for understanding how business can interact with issues related to sustainability, taking a marketing perspective. In particular, we examine how traditional marketing strategies can be incorporated into and/or modified in domains in which sustainability is critical. By necessity, it is essential to not only account for the role of firms and customers, but of government, non-profit organizations, employees, and other stakeholders.

Description
This course examines the challenges and opportunities associated with sustainability in supply chains. The course has four components: (i) investments in environmental technologies, (ii) energy efficiency and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, (iii) the circular economy, and (iv) corporate social responsibility in supply chains.
Sustainability issues in supply chains present challenges for many organizations around the world. They can also generate opportunities. The course will first focus on the financial and operational evaluation of environmental technologies in supply chains. This will be followed by a few sessions on energy efficiency and GHG emissions management in supply chains. The third part of the course, on circularity, will examine concepts such as eco-design, reverse logistics, and waste management. Finally, the course will conclude with challenges related to the social aspects of sustainability, including human rights, health and safety, and fair wages in supply chains.
Themes covered

Description
Students will learn how to integrate sustainability issues into supply chain management, particularly in managing supplier relationships, evaluating suppliers, and aligning this integration to the business strategy. Students will also gain knowledge of operational tactics and strategies specific to climate risk.
Supply chain management can be the catalyst for solutions to corporate environmental and social challenges. A company's suppliers often have expertise or technologies that, when combined with those of the company, can reduce environmental impacts. First-tier suppliers can also, with the support of their clients, enable better monitoring of social aspects such as employee welfare and respect for human rights upstream in the chain (for higher-tier suppliers). Thus, the course will focus on operational and supply chain management issues related to sustainable development.
Themes covered
Reverse logistics
Energy efficiency in logistics systems
Waste management
Climate change risk and supply chains
Life-cycle thinking and eco-design

Description
Par le biais d'une simulation, les groupes d'étudiants doivent gérer une organisation profitable et responsable, et ce en mobilisant stratégiquement les technologies de l'information. Des progiciels de gestion jusqu'à l'automatisation par l'IA, les participants développeront une compréhension de l'impact des choix technologiques en gestion.
Dans le cadre de cette simulation nommée ERPsim, les équipes d'étudiants doivent gérer une organisation dans un marché concurrentiel à l'aide d'un véritable système progiciel de gestion intégrée (PGI) pour saisir leur décision d'affaires. Au fur et à mesure de l'évolution de la simulation, de nouvelles technologies de l'information deviennent accessibles aux équipes : PGI, tableaux de bord, outils d'intelligence artificielle et outils de communication organisationnelle. Les étudiants devront mobiliser ces technologies pour améliorer l'efficience de leurs processus d'affaires ainsi que développer leur compétence analytique. La simulation crée ainsi un cadre pour discuter des concepts et des défis liés à l'implantation et à l'utilisation efficace des technologies en organisation, ainsi que du rôle des gestionnaires dans la transformation des organisations basées sur ces technologies.

Apprentissage des connaissances de base des principales technologies de l'information, puisque les gestionnaires d'aujourd'hui doivent savoir gérer ces ressources aujourd'hui indispensables à la bonne marche des activités d'une organisation et à sa survie.
Les systèmes d'information (SI) et les technologies qui s'y rattachent prennent de plus en plus de place dans l'entreprise. Aujourd'hui, une entreprise qui veut être performante doit non seulement répondre aux besoins du marché, mais elle doit aussi faire face à une concurrence féroce. La capacité concurrentielle des entreprises est plus que jamais soutenue par des technologies de l'information complexes et qui évoluent à un rythme effréné. On estime d'ailleurs que près de 60 % des investissements en capital sont maintenant faits en technologies de l'information (TI). La position concurrentielle des entreprises québécoises de l'an 2000 dépend entre autres de leur capacité à utiliser et à gérer correctement les TI.
