In this simulation-focused online course, student groups compete to design a sustainability-focused facility siting and management plan for a hypothetical business proposed for somewhere in the United States. They do so with the help of a qualitative version of the Triple Bottom Line Tool. This tool was designed to enhance and to communicate investment performance across a broad array of economic, environmental, and social impacts. In the process of developing their plans, students also explore a full range of options for how U.S. businesses large and small can contribute to the goal of building sustainable societies worldwide. They do so in part using perspectives informed by systems thinking.
