Sustainability is part of Humber College’s new strategic plan. The college has just been recognized as a silver star by the Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education STARS program. The Business School is the largest school at Humber with 7,000 students in diploma, degree and post-graduate programs.
The discourse on sustainability is often presented from a polarized either-or perspective – we can have environmental and social sustainability or economic sustainability but not all three (for example with oil sands, pipelines, and tankers). The Conference will bring together leaders in bridging the perceived gap between the three pillars of sustainability. Our speakers will educate, enlighten, stimulate and encourage students, faculty and staff throughout the college by sharing their experiences of individuals and/or companies who succeed economically while embracing sustainability holistically. Our vision is that this is the beginning of an annual conversation on sustainability in business, one which will expand discussion in our classrooms well beyond the day of conference, informing course content, programming and the practice of future business professionals.
We are pleased to present 4 guest speakers who will address the topic of Sustainability from social, environmental and economic perspectives. Following the speaker presentations there will be a panel discussion, question and answer dialogue and light lunch.
We encourage you to take advantage of this unique learning opportunity and invite you and your students to attend Sustainability How? Social, Environmental, Economic. The conference is generously being sponsored by The Business School and, as such, there is no registration fee.
