Centre for Social and Sustainable Innovation
The Centre for Social and Sustainable Innovation (CSSI) at the Gustavson School of Business was formed to bring sustainability and social responsibility into the education, research, operations and culture of our school. The CSSI helps staff and faculty integrate sustainability and social responsibility into all of Gustavson’s educational offerings. From core courses to international exchanges, we offer practical support to meet the school’s commitment to the United Nations Global Compact’s Principles for Responsible Management Education. We help the people who study and work at the Gustavson School of Business:
-
include sustainability and social responsibility in courses
-
host and attend events, challenges and competitions
-
reduce our carbon footprint
-
share what we learn and do, at UVic and around the world
We’re one more way that Gustavson steps up to make the world better.
If you’ve got questions or ideas, we’d love to hear from you! cssi@uvic.ca or 250-853-3721
