    Dear colleagues,
     
    This fall, 60 leaders of business sustainability centres from five continents gathered at INSEAD to explore shared challenges related to centre management, teaching, research and outreach. (See the wonderful group photo.) 
     
    The workshop was an initiative of the Sustainability Centres Community (SCC), which is managed by the Network for Business Sustainability (NBS).
     
    Learn from centre leaders' insights. Please explore the workshop outputs. They include:
    ·         What I Wish I Knew before Launching a Sustainability Centre. Take the online survey to share your advice on running a centre, which we will share with this listserv.
    ·         How to Manage a Sustainability Centre
    ·         How Sustainability Centres Can Support Effective Teaching
    ·         How Sustainability Centres Can Support Research that Impacts Practice
     
    The Sustainability Centres Community brings together 135 sustainability centres from business schools around the world, in order to advance our shared goals. If your school or centre is not already a member, we do hope you'll join our community. Together, we can do more.
