How should profit-maximizing firms cut their CO₂ emissions? In this course, you will find out the answer to this urgent question yourself.

Working in small teams, you will determine a realistic CO₂ reduction goal for a major German listed company, and develop a comprehensive strategic plan to get there: covering everything from strategic and operational integration to governance design and incentives. Your strategy will be grounded in cutting-edge academic research.

In a final role-play session, each team will adopt two roles. First, as strategic developers, you will pitch your strategic plan to against a competing team to convince a peer group acting as the firm's board to implement your team's strategy. Second, you will step into the role of the firm's board yourself and evaluate the strategic plans of two peer teams. The best strategic plan earns a grade bonus.
