Leeds Sustainability Case Competition
The Leeds SustainabilityÌýCase Competition (formerly called the Net Impact Case Competition) brings together graduate students, executives, and businesses that share a common commitment to innovative business practices that yield positive social, environmental, and financial returns. It is not enough for businesses to solely focus on profits. Business plans must prioritize environmental and social factors as well. The Leeds Sustainability Case Competition provides students the chance to display their ability to solve problems using a multi-disciplinary approach to sustainability-focused professionals and companies.
The University of Colorado Boulder, Leeds School of Business is proud to host the Leeds SustainabilityÌýCase Competition (LSCC). The university’s location in the city of Boulder, Colorado allows access to one of the country’s greatest densities of sustainability companies and a diverse collection of industries.
