Sustainability Challenge - USA & Canada

Now more than ever, working together across industries and on an international scale to tackle global issues of sustainability is at the forefront of US and Canadian business objectives. We have seen a health crisis create a shift in the way we live and work, and accelerate change, while presenting some great opportunities to rethink business practices.

Sustainability is no longer only about preserving the environment or charitable organizations. Businesses in North America now have the responsibility to embody sustainability in all aspects, to meet consumer demands.

Join IE for a discussion and participative workshop on sustainability.

Candidates of IE programs will also have the opportunity to present a challenge submission with their admissions application, in order to be eligible for exclusive scholarship awards.

*If you are unable to attend but are interested in learning more, please register to receive a recording of the session after the event.
