Sustainable Development Goals Week
As an educational institution, Hanken has the power to generate positive change in the world. We want to take charge and push the boundaries in building a more responsible society through collaboration and innovation.
Integrating sustainability and responsibility in everything we do is part of our strategy HANKEN 2025. Hanken is also a Principles for Responsible Management Education (PRME) signatory: we made the commitment to mainstreaming Sustainable Development Goals across all our roles- as educator, as research institution, as employer and as civil society actor.
The role that Hanken aims to play is ambitious and requires action from each one of us. To start the discussion, you are welcome to the Sustainable Development Goals Week that will be held at Hanken 13-21.11.2018. Students and staff are very welcome to participate in the various events.
