The field of study incorporates sustainable development with various aspects of management, e.g., enable organizations to implement sustainability vision and strategy, minimize ecological footprint, develop sustainable organizational culture, promote green marketing, and undertake sustainability reporting.

The Master of Science in Sustainability Management program aims to develop graduates who can analyze management problems and issues using the perspectives of systems thinking and sustainable development; develop creative systems and solutions to management concerns regarding sustainable development; and develop tools and competencies for sustainability as may be required by new situations and contexts. Graduates may thus serve as consultants for local and international companies looking for consultants in sustainability strategies, implementation of sustainability initiatives, and sustainability reporting, among others. They may also bring the sustainability perspective into their own businesses and use it to improve their brand and reputation. Furthermore, there is a growing trend among companies to have sustainability officers, some of whom are at senior management level.
