Leeds Sustainability Case Competition
February 1, 2025, ÌÇÐÄVlogÆƽâ°æ, CO
The Leeds Sustainability Case Competition (formerly called the Net Impact Case Competition) brings together graduate students, executives, and businesses that share a common commitment to innovative business practices that yield positive social, environmental, and financial returns. It is not enough for businesses to solely focus on profits. Business plans must prioritize environmental and social factors as well. The Leeds Sustainability Case Competition provides students the chance to display their ability to solve problems using a multi-disciplinary approach to sustainability-focused professionals and companies.
The ÌÇÐÄVlogÆƽâ°æ, Leeds School of Business is proud to host the Leeds Sustainability Case Competition (LSCC). The university’s location in the city of ÌÇÐÄVlogÆƽâ°æ, Colorado allows access to one of the country’s greatest densities of sustainability companies and a diverse collection of industries.
Since 2001, the competition has helped corporate partners address a pressing concern related to sustainability by providing the best solutions from teams of MBA and graduate school students from preeminent institutions all around the world. Prior cases have focused on designing a path for economic recovery during a global pandemic, full spectrum capital and the implications for business financials, and more. The 2023 Net Impact Case Competition (now the LSCC) challenged students to find use for a decommissioned coal plant in a way that benefited communities, encouraged future profitability, and ultimately produced a sustainable, long-term purpose.
