The real essence of
learning is not bound only to classrooms, but extends beyond the premises of
any educational institution through effective use of Information and
Communication Technology. Sustainability is one of the buzzwords in the 21st
Century which is going to transform the way business are operated across the
globe due to environmental degradation. To have the conceptual understanding of
sustainability, Uttaranchal Institute of management under the aegis of
Uttaranchal University, Dehradun organised an International webinar titled
‘Corporate Sustainability’ on 31st March, 2022 at 12:30 pm for the

an event to enhance their knowledge in the practical domain of Sustainability
and SDGs which has become a challenge for Organizations in today’s era of environmentalism
amongst companies and to drive a truly sustainable and resilient future.
Ms. Mia Negru started her

no idea about sustainability about how should they act to create impact. Ms Mia
also talked about the 2030 builder’s platform where she highlighted what
employees and stakeholders to contribute in bringing change. Ms Mia highlighted

Communicate Goals and KPIs, Goal Prediction and Comparison and collection of
ideas and taking corrective actions. She also briefed about some good practices
which are being followed by the European countries.
