Global ESG and Sustainability Summit
LOCATION: Online
WHEN: 25 AUGUST
8:00am EDT
Driving positive change.
Stress on organizations today is unprecedented. More than ever before leaders need to be equipped to understand and respond to rapidly changing conditions and ensure the continued sustainability of their organizations.
Our environment, society and the essential governance thereof is firmly interwoven into our future. We have a collective responsibility to pivot and transform our organizations to create, preserve and avoid the erosion of value and ensure that we effectively steward our limited resources for future generations.
Join us, as global experts help us challenge the assumption that our current economic models can expand indefinitely, and ask ourselves the uncomfortable questions that no one dares to ask. Can we find innovative solutions that grapple with the complexities ingrained within our environment and implanted deep within our society? Investigate the latest developments in governance from global thought leaders, and catalyse new ideas as we all work towards a sustainable future.
Join us for a globally interactive conversation about ESG, Sustainability and beyond â what we do now affects our future.
This Global Summit is hosted by the Good Governance Academy in association with Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB), The South African Business Schools Association (SABSA) and Global Business School Network (GBSN).

About
Let’s meet in person to mark the 30 years of CEEMAN and try to understand the big picture surrounding the future of management education. Geopolitics, environment and sustainability, multiple social issues – all add up to unprecedented challenges we face on business and society level. How can management education support the new leadership that is needed to navigate successfully in these new times? How the management education curriculum and processes should be changed? And what can we do – together?
CEEMAN Annual Conference traditionally includes a series of events in order to get to know the business, political and social realities of the host country and to discuss implications, best practices and collaboration in the area of management development through keynotes, international panels, roundtable discussions and workshops. Several side events are also organized, such as CEEMAN IQA Quick-Scan Session, poster session for faculty and researchers, CEEMAN Annual Meeting, and CEEMAN Awards Ceremony.
The CEEMANâs extensive programs provide an excellent platform for discussions and thinking about how the improved quality of management and management schools can be the catalyst to drive urgently needed changes, innovation and creativity.
