Professor and provost Bendik Meling Samuelsen provides a strong message for students, academics, and professionals to co-create the sustainable future:

“Corporate social responsibilty (CSR) and sustainability are terms that have been somewhat hard to define and take action on. When the good intentions are organised as 17 Sustainable­ Development Goals, our mission becomes more concrete and user­friendly. As of 2018, we are working to include the UN Sustainable Development Goals in the learning objectives of our full-time programmes. All our Bachelor of Science and Master of Science programmes will be connected to one or more of the SDGs. To secure a formal commitment across BI, we aim to include the SDGs in our assurance of learning process. This gives us a formal framework and a set of tools to follow up on how the learning objectives are met. Sustainability is not something only politicians and business executives should attend to. It is a natural part of the work we do and the choices we make as an educational institution. For our students, it relates to the ability to reflect on dilemmas as part of the learning process. It is about developing knowledge and skills that future leaders will need in order to bring business and society forward”, says Professor Bendik Meling Samuelsen
