This week, we will address these learning outcomes:
- Explain the concept of sustainability and evaluate its significance to marketing.
- Explain the concepts of the Circular Economy and carbon footprint, and discuss what opportunities and challenges they pose to businesses and consumers.
First up, we will learn more about the climate emergency and the concept of sustainability. We will hear from Christiane Dolva, Head of Sustainability at Fjällräven, the Swedish outdoor equipment brand. Prof Karl Williams will explain about plastics pollution and carbon footprints.

You will be able to test your understanding of key concepts in a quiz and if you are an upgraded learner, then there will be an end-of-week test. Please do pay careful attention whilst engaging with the content, so that you will tackle the questions with confidence. You will also be writing a sustainability-related blog post.
