Living Wages in Action: Driving Business Impact and Social Progress

 

Developed by the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD) in partnership with IDH, this course provides a clear and practical introduction to living wages. You will explore what living wages are, why they matter, and how companies can move from principles to real-world implementation.

Through accessible explanations, practical tools, real-life case studies, and role-specific guidance brought to life through six business personas (Sustainability, Executives, Finance, Procurement, Human Resources, and Legal), the course equips you with the knowledge and confidence to help advance living wage practices across your organization and supply chain.
