Thought leadership
At CEMS, we recognize the pressing need for a paradigm shift towards sustainable business models. Our theme, "Mindset shifting towards sustainable business models," serves as a compass guiding our exploration into the realms of collaborative transformation. Through this initiative we aim to leverage the collective wisdom of our alliance schools, fostering collaboration and maximizing our impact. In this editorial, we introduce two compelling sub-themes encapsulating our commitment to fostering leaders who embrace sustainability and inclusivity as core values. The choice of the "Student Mindset Shifting" and "Environmental Sustainability" sub-themes for the CEMS thought leadership initiative is deeply rooted in our commitment to nurturing transformative leadership in alignment with CEMS values.

Amidst global challenges, CEMS recognizes the pivotal moment to re-imagine our collective future. The "environmental sustainability" theme takes centre stage, emphasizing the urgent need for global collaboration in navigating the climate crisis.
