The SDG Committee plays a key role as part of the UNSW Business School 2023 Strategy by informing how we shape our business and society to create sustainable social and economic value by developing innovative theories, insights, and frameworks. Bringing faculty members from different disciplinary backgrounds together with industry, institutions, and communities to partner in solving important societal and business challenges, building our culture, people, capabilities and resources to sustainably create opportunities.
