The Certificate in Strategic Corporate Social Responsibility is a two-day program focused on teaching business leaders the complexities of sustainability, corporate social responsibility, and ethics, and how these tie into producing a superior product that generates financial growth. The program goes a step beyond "the triple bottom line" – People, Planet, Profits – and adds a fourth factor to the equation: Product. Delivery of a quality product or service is essential for a sustainable competitive advantage in any business. The program is developed and led by Dr. Michael Crooke, the Pepperdine faculty lead for the SEER Certificate.

  • Evaluate the process of making tough decisions, managing the tensions between the four macro-values.
