The final Campaign Celebration took place in Fontainebleau to thank donors for their support and highlight the impact of the campaign. Hosted by the Hoffmann Global Institute for Business and Society, the Business & Society Summit featured five years of sustainability research, curriculum changes, policy adjustments and outreach at INSEAD. The engaging discussions explored the trends that support the integration of sustainability into business and how we can strive to do even more.
The evening celebration featured speakers Professor Lily Fang, Dean of Research who spoke on the advances in research made possible through the campaign and Professor Renée Mauborgne, co-director of the INSEAD Blue Ocean Strategy Institute, who described how companies can strive for positive disruption. Dean Ilian Mihov closed the celebration with a passing of the “Force for Good” torch to incoming Dean Francisco Veloso in true INSEAD style.
