WHU Sustainability Club

🌿 Thank you so much, Guruprakash Sastry, for an Inspiring Session! 🌿 We at WHU – Otto Beisheim School of Management are inspired by the insights shared by Guruprakash from Infosys on "Towards a Net Zero Future". We witnessed not one, but five impressive success stories demonstrating how sustainability and profitability can seamlessly integrate. Here are the standout success stories: 1) 🏢 Energy Efficiency: Smart building management for massive energy savings. 2) 🌳 Greenery Restoration: Reviving the Infosys Mangaluru campus. 3) 🌍 Carbon Offsets: Proactive carbon offset projects. 4) 💧 Water Management: Cutting water usage per person from 109L to 39L. 5) 🚮 Waste Management: "Towards Zero Waste to Landfill" project. Infosys is setting the benchmark with a 2030 focus on climate change, water, and waste management. We look forward to more such engaging sessions, and hopefully, an in-person event soon! #NetZero #Sustainability #StudentsClub #ClimateAction #Infosys #WHU #GreenFuture

Despite heavy-duty vehicles accounting for only 2% of vehicles on European roads, they are responsible for 25% of carbon emissions in the continent’s transportation sector. To help the logistics sector reduce carbon emissions, the WHU Chair of Logistics Management has teamed up with Log-hub AG and K2 Mobility GmbH to form the think tank e-Embarque. Together, they will assist companies in their transition to electric mobility. Learn more about WHU Professor Stefan Spinler’s initiative: https://lnkd.in/etK8RvUg #myWHU

🌍 In today's rapidly evolving business landscape, integrating green finance and robust corporate management is more crucial than ever. A groundbreaking 2024 study emphasizes how sustainable practices are beneficial for the environment and pivotal for long-term business success. 🌱The research focuses on China's efforts from 1990 to 2020 and shows significant improvements in sustainable development indices when businesses adopt green finance initiatives and sustainable corporate governance. These practices boost economic performance and enhance corporate reputation and stakeholder trust. As we face global challenges such as climate change and resource scarcity, it's clear that sustainable development should be at the core of corporate strategies. Businesses that lead in sustainability are setting themselves up for future success, demonstrating that good for the planet is good for business. Let's discuss how we can further integrate these practices into the core of our business strategies to drive real change and value. https://lnkd.in/d-Kr9_cd #BusinessSustainability #GreenFinance #CorporateLeadership #FutureOfBusiness #WHU #WHUSustainabilityClub
