Sustainability takes centre stage
The Net Impact Sustainability Challenge is organized by the Beedie School of Business at Simon Fraser University, in British Columbia. This year marked the 12th edition of the international case competition that focuses on sustainability issues.
Participating teams had to solve a case presented by event partner Coast Capital, a Canadian financial services cooperative.
The company asked the teams to help increase revenue for its members, staff and communities, while focusing on accessibility, equity and sustainability.
