Description

As part of Green Fortnight, the College of Business and Law is celebrating some of the amazing work by Business and Law students to further the United Nations' sustainable development goals within their assessments.

Come and see how the Marketing students have used their creative media skills to tackle food waste in Bristol, how the Accounting and Finance students have applied Sustainable Accounting Practices to big banks and retail firms and the Law students tackling issues such as illegal logging in the Congo.

Laura McAllister, United Nations Principles for Responsible Management Education (UN PRME) Lead for Bristol Business School, will be at the showcase stand in the Atrium on Tuesday 28 October and 5 November between 13:00-14:00 if you would like to know more about and get involved with education for sustainable development in College of Business and Law.
