Ethical and Sustainable Marketing: Theory, Practice & Strategies

Description of the course: Ethical Marketing and Communication with a Purpose

Ethical marketing puts people first and must put their decisions under a regime of ethical criteria established in dialogue. The course is designed to convey the knowledge, tools and skills necessary to face this change and to prepare the organization to begin its path towards sustainability.

When you make a social responsibility report (rs) or when you commit to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) or perform circular economy (EC) actions you find that a fundamental part of the implementation is communication. Because not all these initiatives are launched to stay in an office, but must scale, flow and expand well beyond the company itself and translate into investment with positive returns. Plan of Ethical Marketing and Communication with Cause must include a map of stakeholders and a work of generating profiles of possible audiences. How do we communicate with them? What goals do I have for each group? What channels are best suited to reach them in the most efficient way? What resources do I have?
