Sustainability, Accountability and Ethics (1 º Sem 2020/2021)

Hello,

These are your final grades for the appeal season. Please check here.

You have any doubts or wish to consult the exam, please contact me through the email ritafuentes@iseg.ulisboa.pt

Furthermore, I inform you that after the reviewing process, I have made two adjustments in the final exam grades (Ramilya and Vanessa) and also increased half point in the company's Portfolio bonus of Ramilya, since I haven't seen some of the files she has uploaded in our Team (my fault). I uploaded the new version of the file "Detailed grades - Regular season - Version 2".

Wish you all the best for your master degree!

Kind regards,

Rita Fuentes Henriques

Good morning,

These are your final grades for the regular period. You can check your grades here. I have uploaded a file named "Detailed grades" with all the grades regarding this season.

For the students enrolled in the repeat period, your grades will be available together with the final grade obtained in the appeal period. I have created a new team "SAE - Appeal Exam" and added you as members. Please, check if you can see the new team in your MS Teams. Next Friday you must join this team to perform the exam. Soon, I will leave in the team some extra information about the exam.

For the approved students, it was nice to meet you and I wish you the best for the next semester!

Best regards,

Rita Fuentes Henriques

Dear Students,

Next class, we will perform Quiz 4 (our last one). The rules and structure will be exactly the same - 20 minutes to submit 3 multiple-choice questions plus 3 open questions. All questions will focus on Part 4 - Sustainability Metrics and also on the Financial Metrics we have discussed during our classes (please, see all files in Part 4 folder).

After the quiz, we will finish the slides about Part 5 - Ethics and discuss the ethical dilemma available in Part 5 folder.

Thus, before the next class, you shoud read:

• Slide 3 (Offering and accepting inducements) and think about the questions presented;
• Ethical dilemma for class discussion.  

It is also available, in Part 5 folder, the Ethical Scenario Sky Corporation, set for evaluation purposes. You should deliver your solution by mail until 31st December.

See you all on Thursday,

Rita Fuentes Henriques

Hello everyone,

I have just uploaded the slides for the Work in Class (Financial and Non-Financial Report) and also the set of slides for Part 4 (Sustainability metrics). They are both in the folder of Part 4.

I will upload tomorrow the ethical scenario for evaluation in the last class of the semester (the 17th December).

Thank you and see you in the next class.

Best regards,

Dear Students,

Next class we will perform Quiz 3 regarding Part 2 of our Sillabus - Sustainability Metrics. The rules and structure will be exactly the same - 20 minutes to submit a 3 multiple-choice questions plus 3 open questions.

Also, I would like to inform that regarding the papers presented and discussed in last 2 classes I have uploaded all papers in Aquila (folder "Class 19th November") and all presentations & discussion slides in the menu "Files" of our Team SAE.

Besides, I have created a new folder in our Team - COMPANY PORTFOLIOS - where each of you have an individual folder. So, you can start uploading the files and materials you have been gathering about your chosen companies in our work in progress. In the end of the semester I will collect them and evaluate them - it's an extra change for some extra points in the final grade if you engage in this task.

In the next class our plan will be to: 

• Perform the quiz;
• Conclude the work in progress;
• Discuss Part 4 Slides (start).

See you all on Thursday!
