Strategic understanding of sustainability and ESG

Dr Limin Fu, 2025

This initiative aims to equip future business leaders with a strategic understanding of sustainability and ESG by drawing on real-world examples.

Leveraging my industry experience, I incorporate practical trade-offs and dilemmas surrounding corporate sustainability into classroom activities and assessments, examining how managers navigate the balance between ESG objectives and financial performance in various global contexts.

Through these learning experiences, students integrate ESG considerations into their self-developed dummy companies and case reports, addressing the complexities of strategic sustainability and proposing solutions to common trade-offs.

As a result, sustainability shifts from being a peripheral topic to becoming a central focus, with students actively engaging in real-world corporate sustainability challenges.

Graduates emerge prepared to champion sustainability in business while effectively navigating its associated complexities.
