Self-Regulation with Accreditation
8th SEAA-PGS International Case Competition 2024 & 6th Rhyllis Rae Oedekovan Student Leadership Trophy!
The human kind which systematically destroyed the mother earth seem to be checking and retracing its steps. It could be argued that it is too little too late but optimistically we could see that technology advancement and spread of education is making people aware of their responsibility to save the earth for the future generations. What needs to be done is serious advocacy and aggregating interested groups to take affirmative action before it is too late.
Evidence is everywhere that there are serious efforts to bring back the earth from the brink. At the crest United Nations Global Compact of which SEAA Trust, New Delhi has been a member for a few years now is pushing its 17 sustainable development goals SDGs in 198 countries worldwide and the concept of ESG (Environment, Social and Governance) frameworks for corporate and government compliance is being pushed to the fore. Worldwide ESG compliance has become a norm rather than exception.
Within our limited platform of Higher Business Education Quality advocacy we find institutions like PRME (Principles for Responsible Management Education) on United Nations is also pushing the schools for raising their standards to instil environment consciousness in future leadership.
SEAA Trust, New Delhi has been striving hard as members of UNGCNI to incorporate Social Impact concept into MBA education so that new concepts like ESG are understood by future leaders being minted at the campuses. Our 15th, 16th and now the 17th annual conference is studiously adhering to the social impact theme. ​
