In this video, multiple students from the Sustainability Honours programme present their capstone consulting projects to clients and peers. Most aspects of this programme are covered, including what sustainability entails and what this means for businesses.
Creating a better and more sustainable future for all is one of the biggest challenges of our time. To achieve the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, we need companies to take up their responsibility. The push for sustainability is already forcing firms to create new ways of thinking about products, technologies, processes and business models. Businesses must bring these ideas into practice by innovating designs, operations, marketing, logistics and services throughout the global value chain, and the entire product life cycle.
In order to do this, they need leaders who know what being a sustainable organisation entails, and what is necessary to get there.
