Innovating for a sustainable future Integrating regenerative sustainability into every aspect of Gustavson

The Centre for Social and Sustainable Innovation (CSSI) at the Gustavson School of Business

helps employees, students and community partners integrate regenerative sustainability and social responsibility into everything they do.

From research and teaching to daily operations, we offer practical support to meet the school’s commitment to the United Nations (UN) Principles for Responsible Management Education (PRME) and to integrate the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) into everything we do.

Regeneration

Doing less harm is no longer enough. Our life-supporting ecosystems and communities need to be restored and revitalized. Regenerative sustainability means aiming for net-positive environmental, social and economic outcomes. CSSI recognizes that we need to give more to the world than we take.
