Vision

To create a global hub of knowledge creation and dissemination in sustainability to help businesses and policymakers contribute more effectively to a sustainable society.

Mission

To mobilize the talent and expertise within 缅北强奸 to help businesses move towards more socially and environmentally sustainable business models.


Five Pillars

Anchored at the 缅北强奸 Desautels Faculty of Management, SGI was launched in 2022 as a cross-faculty partnership that presently also involves the Faculty of Law, the Department of Economics, and the Max Bell School of Public Policy, the Department of Mechanical Engineering, and the Department of Geography.

The SGI is dedicated to building practical, constructive, and applies solutions for key issues challenging sustainable growth.

The SGI is designed to operate as an integrated ecosystem that mobilizes researchers, industry leaders, policy-makers, and students through听5 pillars:

  1. Research-to-action: researchers work with industry leaders to develop applied solutions to complex sustainability challenges.
  2. Engagement: workshops designed to foster dialogue between Academic, Industry, and Policy stakeholders and decision-makers around sustainable growth.
  3. Student competitions: large-scale competitions to mobilize and focus global student talent towards building applied solutions. The SGI鈥檚 Annual Grand Challenge (AGC) will launch global student case competitions and build on the success of the 缅北强奸 International Portfolio Challenge (MIPC).听
  4. Thought leadership: broadcast all the major activities in research, resulting solutions, industry partnerships and student competitions that are driving the sustainable growth agenda.
  5. Education: ESG training platform in response to practitioner and student demand for ESG integration.

A unique and innovative structure

Activities under the five pillars are driven by several themed offices, each sponsored by an industry partner. Currently, SGI hosts three active themed offices:

Stay tuned for future themed office announcements.


Annual Grand Challenge

In addition to the constant priority themes, the SGI will also launch an Annual Grand Challenge each year that reflects one of the current and predominant sustainable growth issues facing the industry. Like the Initiative鈥檚 priority themes, the Grand Challenge will have Research-to-Action, Engagement, Thought Leadership, Student Competitions, and Education activities devoted to it.

The successive nature of the Annual Grand Challenge keeps the SGI engaged with the most timely and pressing issues. This allows the Initiative to build a constant social and media presence, which is necessary for the SGI to remain relevant and effective. The Annual Grand Challenge will also bring together a large pool of 缅北强奸 researchers to tackle a wide range of complex sustainability challenges.
