SDG 8 Decent Work and Economic Growth
How USTP Supports Sustainability as a Management Task
Future-Proof Economic Management Demands Innovation, Responsibility, and Sustainable Business Models
Sustainable Development Goal 8 makes it clear that in order to be fit for the future, economic development must be sustainable, inclusive, and fair. It is important that growth is not achieved on the backs of people and the environment, but rather through innovative business models, fair working conditions, and responsible corporate management.
Sustainability as a Management Task
Executives are called upon to design fair working conditions, use resources responsibly, and control innovations in such a way that they create long-term benefits for society and the environment. With its study programmes in management, USTP contributes to teaching these competencies. Students acquire knowledge on sustainable management, digitalisation, and social responsibility – the ideal preparation for successful organisational management within the meaning of the SDGs.
Interactive Learning for Sustainable Development
All our study programmes have a special focus on practically relevant training. The variety of topics in our practice projects is just as wide as the contents of the 17 sustainability goals – from last-mile optimisation and ESG communication to investor relations and sustainable employment.
About the SDG Topic Series
Within the framework of our SDG topic series, we dedicate ourselves to one of the 17 goals for sustainable development every week. The selected contributions serve as examples to illustrate how USTP – University of Applied Sciences St. Pölten contributes to a sustainable future. In doing so, we highlight diverse issues – from poverty in old age and ‘AI for Green’ to strategic partnerships and networks.
