SUMMARY:Course: Integration of Holistic Approaches of Cleaner Production\, Sustainable Consumption\, Circular Economies and Benefit Corporation Concepts into Sustainability Oriented\, Existing and Start-up Companies 2
DESCRIPTION:Consumers\, employees\, and investors are demanding that companies address social and environmental problems as core to their marketplace success. This course helps participants understand and apply emerging holistic methodologies for integrative product service system design\, cleaner production\, sustainable consumption and transformative business models for the circular economy\, such as B Corporations. \nProgramme\nCourse description \nThis course\, taught in five sections\, is based on practical learning through experiential education and supplemental readings. It will inspire participants and empower them to become socially conscious business leaders who can advance their careers and their companies by successfully moving forward in this exciting new economy. \nThe overall curriculum helps provides holistic approaches for cleaner production\, sustainable consumption\, and new company structures based on a triple-bottom line (people\, planet\, profit) approach to business. New business models\, such as Certified B Corporations and Legal Benefit Corporations\, will be introduced with an emphasis on a company’s performance in five impact areas: community\, environment\, workers\, customer and good governance through transparency and accountability. \nParticipants will learn how to achieve positive transformative change through better planning\, management\, and knowledge platforms. Among subject areas covered will be improving production/processing facilities\, enhancing product-service systems\, empowering employees\, and broadening from a shareholder-only orientation to engage up- and downstream stakeholders – including suppliers\, customers\, and communities. \nCourse content \nThe content of the course are divided into five sections. The broad outline are as follows: \nSection-1\nExpanding the understanding of the value chain\, from production\, processing\, wholesaling\, retailing and valorising wastes in transitioning to sustainable circular economies. \nGroup work: Corporate value stream mapping for any industrial sector. \nSection-2\nConcepts of benefit corporation for the transitions to sustainable and conscious businesses within sustainable circular economies within the climate emergency. \nGroup assignment: Planning for implementation of cleaner production\, industrial ecology\, circular economy and conscious business approaches in the participant’s own company. \nSection-3\nWhy and how can cleaner production\, sustainable consumption\, industrial ecology and circular economy\, concepts and approaches help to ensure food\, water and societal security in the context of climate changes and population growth? \nSection-4\nSustainable consumption and production and  learning how to prevent\, minimize and to valorise wastes. \nSection-5\nUnderstanding socially conscious businesses\, purposeful design of products-service systems\, sharing platforms and sharing economy business models and strategies. \nGroup presentation: Based on the section 2 assignment; discussion on the cleaner production strategies\, tools and conscious business approaches thus prepared by course participants. \nNote:\nAfter the completion of this course\, a Skype-consultation (min. 1 hour) will be offered in a group for each company participants\, who will analyze and submit their own organization’s opportunity and challenges to become a truly sustainable company within a circular economies in the context of climate emergency. \nType of training \n\nFace-to-face teaching\nPeer-to-peer workshops\nGuided independent learning\nGroup presentation\nParticipant’s presentations about their company’s challenges and opportunities to build upon the lessons learned by each participant.\n\nObjectives and outcome \n\nEnhance knowledge of the roles of cleaner production\, industrial ecology and the circular economy concepts and tools in present and future companies\, in the context of climate changes and related challenges.\nUnderstanding of how and why companies can and should provide benefits for people\, planet and profits at the same time.\nLearn how to implement cleaner production\, concepts\, tools and policies into their company.\nAnalyse their own organization’s opportunities and challenges for implementing the lessons they learned in the course and to project how their new visions and knowledge will help their companies to contribute to societal transition to truly sustainable\, circular economies in the context of climate changes and other challenges.\n\nLanguage \nEnglish \nTarget Group\n\nLeaders and managers of companies across all industrial sectors.\nSustainability professionals\, supply chain managers\, technical managers\, product  designers in the field of industrial manufacturing\, assembling\, trading\, recycling etc.\nStart-ups founders\, and others who want to develop future-proof circular solutions and benefit corporation.

SUMMARY:From exploration target to mine closure: The minerals lifecycle (a foundation course) 2
DESCRIPTION:The exploration\, evaluation\, valuation and reporting of mineral deposits is a process shaped by local and global economic\, social and political variables\, forces and actors rather than only by technology and the geology\, metallogeny\, physical and chemical properties of ores and mineral deposits. \nProgramme\nCourse description \nThis foundation course is an introduction to the forces shaping and the life cycle of the mineral projects – from the exploration target stage to evaluation\, mining and processing\, tailings management and mine restart or final mine closure. \nThe course is divided into nine chapters: 1 – Current Trends and New Frontiers\, 2 – Markets\, 3 – Society and Sustainable development\, 4 – Exploration\, 5 – (E)Valuation\, 6 – Mining\, 7 – Processing\, 8 – Circular Economy and 9 – Mine Closure or Starting Over. \nThis online course can be taken in isolation or as an introduction to other courses\, online – Natural\, Social And Economic Forces Shaping The Mineral Industry – or presential\, such as: \n\nExploration\, (E)Valuation And Reporting Of Mineral Deposits\,\nValuation And Reporting Of Mineral Assets\,\nReporting in the Mineral Industry – Resources & reserves\, Asset valuation\, Sustainability & Social Responsibility\,\nCorporate Social Responsibility – A Life-Cycle Assessment from Prospect to Closure and\nRaw Materials and Energy in the XXI Century and Beyond A Big Data and Data Science Drive.\n\nCourse contents \nThis is an introductory course with nine chapters and eight modules during eight weeks: \n\nWeek 1: Chapters 1 – Current Trends and New Frontiers\, 2 – Markets and 3 – Society and Sustainable development.\nWeek 2: Chapter 4 – Exploration\,\nWeek 3: Chapter 5 – (E)Valuation\,\nWeek 4: Chapter 6 – Mining\,\nWeek 5: Chapter 6 – Mining (continued).\nWeek 6: Chapter 7 – Processing\,\nWeek 7: Chapter 8 – Circular Economy\nWeek 8: Chapter 9 – Mine Closure or Starting Over.\n\nThe course is designed for a weekly time investment of 1\,5 hours. Naturally\, should the participant wish to further study reading the selected bibliography made available and participating in forum discussions (see above) – which we recommend\, as it is an opportunity to learn from their peers\, the time investment is higher. This is\, however\, flexible and entirely optional. \nType of training \nThis course is designed as distance-learning. It is organized in modules along eight weeks. Each module includes: \n\nPre-recorded video materials and quizzes – for independent learning.\nSelected bibliography – for independent learning.\nA one-hour live webinar\, including the presentation and discussion of the module topics.\n\nThe course will also have a dedicated LinkedIn group for course follow-up\, exchange and discussion of ideas and course topics. \nObjectives and outcomes \nAfter the course participants will have a wide range knowledge of the structure and organization of the mineral industry\, and the science\, technologies and processes used in the sequential steps to develop a mineral deposit (including mine closure). \nParticipants will also be aware of the forces shaping the mineral industry\, be they economic\, social\, technological or environmental and of the main challenges it faces in the XXI century. \nPartcipants will be able to integrate the new knowledge on the raw materials industry into their decision-making\, policy-design or reporting process. \nLanguage \nEnglish \nRequirements \nParticipants would require their own laptop and a stable high-speed internet connection to take part in this course. \nTarget Group\nThe course’s intended audience includes anyone interested in the raw materials industry but who does not have a formal background in the area or anyone with specialized knowledge in the field but wanting to have a widescope current overview of the industry: \n\nManagers of financial institutions and funds\,\nPotential investors in raw materials projects\,\nOfficials from government (local\, state and federal) agencies and institutions.\nMembers of environmental and responsible sourcing NGOs.\nMedia professionals covering the mineral industry.\nGraduate and post-graduate geology\, mining\, mineral processing and metallurgy students.\nManagers of mining and exploration companies.
