Alternative completion methods of implementation
According to the degree regulations (2024), "Students are entitled to apply for recognition of prior learning regardless of where, when and how the competence has been acquired. At Laurea, there are two different procedures for the recognition and accreditation of prior learning: a) accreditation of prior learning (competence acquired in higher education studies at another institution) and b) demonstration of competence (competence acquired in other ways). The recognition and accreditation of prior learning is initiated by the student themselves. The student is responsible for demonstrating and verifying their competence. The student is entitled to guidance for the recognition and accreditation of their competence." Further information in the student intranet.
You may also assess work-based learning as a way to acquire the competence needed. Read more in the student intranet.
Important dates
Based on the degree regulations (2024), the student accepted for the implementation is required to confirm his/her participation by showing activity at the start of the study in the following way:
In accordance with the degree regulations (2024), those who have been accepted for the study unit must confirm their participation by concluding the first module Social Responsibility by the due date (TBD). If the student does not confirm participation by acting in this way, his registration for the implementation will be rejected.
Students workload
5 ECTS = 135 hours of student work
Workload of the study is measured in a way that to acquire the goal competence of the study, one credit corresponds to an average of 26.7 hours of work done by the student. The actual time needed varies e.g. according to prior competence.

Organisations have economic responsibilities to their stakeholders: investors, employees and customers. Profitability is important as well as transparency in giving information about how the organisation is run.

Content and scheduling
The course is divided into five sections:
1. Our Earth, individual work
What is biodiversity? How is it influenced by my footprint? What choices do I have?
All our actions have an effect on the environment but what are the main threats the world is facing?
In the first part of our study unit you will explore the environmental challenges the world is facing.
2. Social Responsibility, individual work
Organizations around the world are becoming increasingly aware of the need for socially responsible behavior. A socially responsible organization has a good reputation, is able to attract and retain workers and customers, and is able to maintain its employees' morale and commitment.
ISO 26000 provides guidance for all types of organisations on concepts, terms, definitions, principles, and the core issues of social responsibility. GRI reporting system helps the companies to communicate the impact of business on critical sustainability issues.
3. Economic Responsibility, individual work
Organisations have economic responsibilities to their stakeholders: investors, employees and customers. Profitability is important as well as transparency in giving information about how the organisation is run.
GDP is a widely-used indicator of a nations' economic success. What are the shortcomings of this measure? Is it actually a good indicator of well-being?
What is HDI? What are externalities? You will learn to define these in this third part of the study unit.
4. CSR Report, team work
You will now summarize everything you have learned so far.
In teams you will write a report where you describe the environmental, social and economic responsibilities including circular economy of an organisation of your choice. Find / choose a small- or medium-sized company (SME*), interview a company representative and describe the company’s best practices in the above areas (environmental, social and economic).
Feel free to include photographs showing examples of innovative practices. Your final report, excluding pictures, should be 5-10 pages.
