In the 21st century successful businesses include an environmental platform in their business strategies. Chief Executive Officers have to consider carbon footprints, sustainable practices, global climate change, and waste management. These are environmentally sensitive issues which have resulted in an increase of environmental legislation.

This degree provides you with a thorough knowledge of environmental science and management principles and practices.
