We are celebrating Sustainability Week at ISEG from the 21st to 25th October.
With a varied programme focused on current issues, we will explore topics such as ESG practices and corporate sustainability, discuss new sustainable business models with the participation of CEOs, address the transition to a green economy, hold workshops on climate change and its impacts on food systems, promote training on the carbon market with Carbon Literacy, and participate in a hands-on activity in the mini-forest, which is dedicated to producing compost and supporting the circular economy.
These initiatives challenge everyone to reflect on the role of sustainability in different contexts. Join us during this week which is dedicated to sustainable development.
ISEG invites all members of the community to take part!
