2021 NBS Sustainability Centers Community Workshop

16/07/2021

STaR co-hosted a biennial global workshop for leaders of business sustainability centers. Virtual, with the taste of Vienna. . .

Business school sustainability centers can play a pivotal role in addressing our shifting social and environmental reality. The 2021 Sustainability Centers Community (SCC) Workshop engaged sustainability center leaders in imagining and operationalizing a desirable future.

Taking place from July 12-15, the event included a multi-sector day open to practitioners, and three days for leaders from the Sustainability Centre Community. The workshop goal was for leaders of sustainability centers to work collectively toward not just reacting to a new normal, but proactively leading their business schools in shaping it.

Hosts: The workshop is an initiative of the Sustainability Centres Community (SCC), managed by the Network for Business Sustainability (NBS). Since 2012, the SCC has brought together leaders of sustainability / responsibility centers from business schools and universities around the world to discuss shared challenges and opportunities. This year's workshop was a collaboration between NBS, STaR, and the IBES at the University of Applied Sciences for Management & Communication. 

Previous workshops were held at Cornell (New York City, US), INSEAD (Fontainebleau, France), Harvard (Boston, US), and Ivey (London, Canada). The precise date of the next NBS SCC Workshop is still be confirmed (currently planned for 2023) and the next hosts will be MIT Massachusetts Institute of Technology (Boston, US).
