Dear colleagues,

I invite business school sustainability centres to join the Sustainability Centres Community (SCC), which is managed by the Network for Business Sustainability (NBS). Since 2012, the SCC has brought together sustainability centres from business schools around the world, to find research partners, share best practices, and solve common challenges.

Today, the SCC is an online community consisting of more than 100 centres from all continents (except Antarctica). The collaboration has already helped to build capacity among the members to advance our common goals.

In 2016, SCC activities include:

·         Our biannual workshop. Held on November 16-18, 2016, at INSEAD, in Fontainebleau, France, this workshop follows gatherings hosted at Ivey in 2012 and Harvard in 2014. It is co-hosted with the INSEAD Social Innovation Centre. Register now.

·         Regular webinars enabling SCC members to share best practices on topics of shared interest. Find out about our July 8 webinar, on funding for centres. 

Join the SCC now, to speak directly with your peers at other centres, share challenges and insights, and build community. The attached flyer has additional details. With any questions about the SCC, please contact Maya Fischhoff.
