Montreal’s McGill University has launched the Sustainable Growth Initiative (SGI), a new hub anchored at the Desautels Faculty of Management dedicated to providing businesses, including manufacturers, with solutions for building a more sustainable economy.
“Through research-to-action projects, engagement workshops, global student competitions, thought leadership and education, this innovative cross-faculty venture will address some of the key challenges businesses face every day,” the university stated in a media release.
The initiative has over $1.4 million in initial support from its founding partners: global alternative asset manager Power Sustainable, international management and holding company Power Corporation of Canada, institutional investor Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec (CDPQ) and global smart and sustainable mobility solutions provider Alstom, as well as individual donors.
