SPECIAL
MENTION

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. ​
