Description/achievement of initiative
The Sustainability Business School is focused totally on sustainability and a responsible management education.
The curricula are embedded with sustainability-related concepts and corporate social responsibility matters
The School is committed to develop initiatives that enable students, faculty and staff to contribute to sustainable practices. For example, classes are paperless. There is a public bicycle rental system, and the catering service is offered by an enterprise that is socially committed and promotes environmental issues.
