CUS Sustainability is here to provide opportunities for Sauder School of Business’ students to educate themselves on what sustainability means in the context of business and motivate them to integrate sustainability into their professional and personal lives. CUS Sustainability endeavours to use the Commerce Undergraduate Society as a model for how sustainability can be implemented into the operations and strategic thinking of an organization.
The 2010 Chasing Sustainability conference addresses the question ‘What does sustainability mean for my future?’, a meaningful question for first year through final year students. To be held on Novenmber 5, 2010, this year’s conference will focus on educating students about green careers in business and cultivating competitive strategies and advantages through sustainability. Striving to engage all members of the campus community, Chasing Sustainability will feature speakers and panellists whose backgrounds are in parallel with a number of the specializations available to students at Sauder School of Business. Delegates will not only have the opportunity to learn about sustainability through the perspective of an industry professional from their chosen field of study, but also connect with other students and engage in provocative and leading edge discussions.
