Desautels Business Conference on Sustainability

For the past six years, McGill's Desautels Business Conference on Sustainability has created an enthusiastic symposium composed of distinguished academic minds, outstanding corporate professionals, and some of the brightest university students across North America. These different stakeholders come together once a year to exchange ideas and build upon concepts of how business relates to sustainability.

DBCS 2012 will be held from January 19th to 22nd. This year's theme: Sustaining Success.

The Desautels Business Conference on Sustainability provides a forum for students to learn, share and connect with those most passionate about sustainability, empowering them to drive this next wave in corporate sustainability. It is now time for businesses to revolutionize the environment they work in, and do well in the process. As students and future leaders we know that together we can sustain success.

Established in 2003, The DBCS is a fully student-initiated and student-run annual conference. It was born through management students answering the increasingly pressing call for action in the environmental and social spheres of our business world. The conference invites leading experts from corporations, non-government organizations and academia to speak to students and provide them with the tools, knowledge, and skills they need to help ensure a sustainable future. DBCS focuses on the three realms of sustainability that affect and are affected by business practices: social, economic and environmental.
