Looking to compete against top MBA students to tackle real-world sustainability challenges?

The Leeds Sustainability 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 LSCC provides students with the opportunity to demonstrate their problem-solving abilities through a multidisciplinary approach to sustainability-focused professionals and companies. This year’s case, Warehouse of the Future, is sponsored by Iron Mountain in partnership with Janus Henderson Investors and ClimateCAP.

All team members must be currently enrolled in a graduate program, including at least one team member seeking a graduate-level business degree. Interdisciplinary teams are encouraged. CU and Leeds teams can register for free with a given code - contact lscc@colorado.edu for details! Registration closes on December 7. This year, there will be $17,500 in cash prizes (pre-tax) for the winners. To learn more and sign up, click here.
