SA4SI Virtual Chat Series | Episode 1: Shining the Light on the Sustainable Development Goals

Join us at a panel to talk about how each of us can bring sustainability into their day-to-day routines. This event is part of a series that brings together guest speakers, Swinburne students, academics as well as professional staff into a conversation to discuss practical ways in which we can engage with the Sustainable Development Goals (as outlined by the United Nations) in our daily lives.

In this episode, the topic discussed will be: how do we make our campuses more sustainable?

SA4SI Virtual Chat Series 

The series endeavours to help the PRME community to understand how mission-driven responsible management education can be achieved through Swinburne’s SA4SI (Swinburne Actions for Sustainability Impact) initiative.

Launched in Semester 2, 2020, the premise of SA4SI enables members of the Swinburne community to be informed of and engage with sustainability actions via various learning activities, at home or through other engagement activities via various online platforms.

To summarise ‘One action a day’ is a very pragmatic suggestion and multiplied by 365 days in a year it yields 365 actions on sustainability. And that's the impact of only one individual”, Professor Weng Marc Lim, Head of School of Business, Faculty of Business, Design and Arts, Swinburne Sarawak.
