The greater Twin Cities is home to a thriving business community – organizations that have demonstrated global leadership not only in their fields but also in their core commitments to sustainability. Drawing on this distinctive regional strength, the Leading Sustainability program was co-developed with the input and insight of 17 corporate partners. During four course-design meetings – and numerous follow-up conversations – these key business partners significantly shaped the program’s objectives and content through discussion and debate of the key components of sustainability science, business growth, and leadership development.

The Institute on the Environment and Carlson School of Management want to recognize the tremendous effort and support of our 17 forward-thinking partners* in the co-creation of this unique sustainability leadership program.
