MISSION

“Provide opportunities for Sauder students to educate themselves on what sustainability means in the context of business. Motivate students to integrate sustainability into their professional and personal lives. Use the CUS as a model for how sustainability can be implemented into the operations and strategic thinking of an organization.”

VISION

Overall, our committee wishes to fill the sustainability void within the CUS and ultimately within society. We hope to accomplish this by fostering and developing an understanding of sustainability among Sauder students as they transform into tomorrow’s business leaders.

Chasing Sustainability is a one-day conference featuring outstanding speakers and industry professionals connected to the green business community.

What does sustainability mean for my future?
..the future as a student, recent graduate entering the job marketing, or professional fifteen years down the line.

Stemming from this question, we will focus on three core issues:

  • 1. Green Career Prospects – Confirmed speakers and panelists share backgrounds and are within industries that parallel a number of the specializations available to Sauder students. See and hear first hand how sustainability is effecting the world of marketing, finance, accounting, human resources, and more!
  • 2. Current and Future Trends – The fast-paced business environment is rapidly changing and sustainability is becoming an ever-growing concern to corporations today. We often hear about the profit-driven side of business; Chasing Sustainability offers exciting opportunities to learn more about the environmental and social side of business within the Triple Bottom Line business model.
  • 3. Building Competitive Advantages through Sustainability – The incorporation of sustainable thinking and practices can offer businesses and students a great competitive advantage. This knowledge is necessary in order to maintain a competitive advantage in today’s evolving economy. Learn how business can remain competitive economically while simultaneously bettering their environmental and social interactions.

    • CUS Sustainability seeks to intertwine business education and sustainability through interactive activities, dynamic speakers, and enlightened discussion at our annual conference. Chasing Sustainability is a stimulating and intimate conference that welcomes a dynamic student audience from all faculties. On November 5th, 2010, come experience an devent that will help define your future!
