Events

The MIT Sloan Initiative for Sustainable Business and Society engages our world-class students, faculty, and staff with external partners from all sectors to focus on pressing 21st century challenges. Our events take place throughout the school year, and bring world-class experts from across the sustainability field to the MIT Sloan campus. With this dynamic group, we explore ways to change management practice so that businesses can prosper in today’s changing landscape.

Throughout the academic year we host the MIT Sloan Sustainability Speaker Series. Each spring we support the student-organized MIT Sustainability Summit as well as workshops, lectures, research seminars, and other events led by members of our extended network.

The MIT Sloan Initiative for Sustainable Business and Society also hosts and facilitates a monthly gathering of student, faculty and staff sustainability leaders across MIT Sloan called Sustainability@Sloan. These meetings allow us to engage clubs working on sustainability issues and to form connections among sustainability activities across the MIT Sloan campus.

“The exposure I had to influential leaders, real-life business challenges, World-class and highly personable faculty and unbelievable classmates tested me as a leader, allowed me to stand for sustainability as a business opportunity and helped me articulate some of its challenges; an invaluable combination of people and experiences”
