Embedding Sustainability and Responsibility into the Curriculum Workshop

This interactive workshop equips attendees with practical tools, ideas, and collaborators to bring sustainability, responsibility, and global challenges into the business school curriculum. Through small group sharing of current practices, resource exchange, and design sprints, participants will explore innovative content and pedagogical approaches to teaching topics such as ESG, human rights, and the UN SDGs. The program culminates in peer-reviewed curriculum modules and concrete action plans, enabling faculty to return to their institutions with ready-to-implement strategies for advancing responsible management education.
