The pandemic has forced many businesses to rethink their operations. Can business schools help guide them toward more sustainable practices?
Advocating for the principles of sustainable business was complex even before a pandemic upended companies and communities around the world. Teaching these principles has become even more urgent during our current global crisis.
At the University of Notre Dame’s Mendoza College of Business in Indiana, we have long aimed to make the realities of ethical business accessible and compelling to students, both in dedicated classes and in assignments within other courses. Since 2008, I have taught our required undergraduate course in business ethics, covering principles of philosophical and behavioral ethics that are highly relevant to sustainability.

FOCUS: Japan prepares for digital currency, in line with China and others
Japan is gearing up preparation for the issuance of digital currency in both public and private sectors following swift moves by China and some other countries to do the same.
Virtual money issued by central banks around the world is called central bank digital currency or CBDC, and is used for cashless payments via smartphones or electronic cards just as cash, while some private organizations, including one established by Facebook Inc., also plan to introduce their own digital currencies.
Different from credit cards and cashless payment services, digital currencies are expected to provide retailers commission-free payment systems while end-users are able to not only settle payments at stores but also quickly send money to others via their smartphone apps.
