2022 Sustainability Challenge Business Simulator
Decision-makers needed
Are you in?
The 2022 Esade Sustainability Simulation Challenge has been created by Esade together with La Fageda and CompanyGame. It is a business simulator that allows students and Esade Alumni to promote the Sustainable Development Goals set for the international business community by the UN, while exploring their implications for decision-making.
The simulator is inspired by the work of the foundation La Fageda, which has been active in sustainable development in the dairy industry for many years. It is open to all students on programmes for a degree or double degree, science and law master's, and MBA programmes in all formats at the Business and Law Schools, as well as Executive MBAs and master’s students in the Executive Education Unit in the 2021-2022 academic year.
The challenge is also open for the Esade alumni members of the Alumni Community. The participation of Esade Alumni will enrich the experience and help create more diverse and multidisciplinary teams, allowing the exchange of knowledge and learning between students and alumni.
Esade students that participated in the 2021 Esade Sustainability Simulation Challenge will not be able to participate again in this new edition.
Awards
All participants receive a diploma as an honorary award for their participation.
A special mention will be added for participants in the winning team.
Esade will award €2,500 to the challenge’s partner organisation, La Fageda Foundation, in the name of the winning team.
The winning team will also present an investment recommendation to La Fageda based on one or several SDGs.
This recommendation will not be binding for the foundation, whose board of trustees may freely dispose of the sum donated.
In addition, Esade Alumni commits to finance a communication campaign valued at €2,500, to give visibility to the Challenge and the winning team through its own communication channels (newsletter, website blog, social networks, among others...), impacting in the entire Esade alumni community.
