Kedge Business School at the United Nations Environment Assembly (UNEA)

31/05/2016

KEDGE BUSINESS SHOOL, AS INITIATOR AND MAJOR PARTNER OF THE SUSTAINABILITY LITERACY TEST (SULITEST) WAS INVITED TO OFFICIALLY LAUNCH ITS NEW PLATFORM WWW.SULITEST.ORG .

The UNEA held at UNEP headquarters in Nairobi, Kenya, under the overarching theme of delivering on the environmental dimension of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.  On this occasion, Kedge Business School, as initiator and major partner of the Sustainability Literacy Test (Sulitest) was invited to officially launch its new platform www.sulitest.org

Inaugurated in the presence of H.E. Oyun Sanjaasuren, Minister of the Environment of Mongolia and the first elected president of UNEA, the Sulitest received a warm welcome from delegates from all over the world (the 20th Regional Committee was also launched on this occasion in Kenya).

It is important to remember that during the pilot phase, the Sulitest was administered to more than 44.000 students from 430 universities worldwide. The new platform, also available on tablet and smartphone, is now open not only to academic institutions but also to any organization, including corporations, SMEs, NGOs, government institutions…

Another improvement of this platform is the possibility for any organization to add a specific set of questions linked to their particular strategy or needs. Thanks to this innovative feature, beginning in September, any new incoming student at KEDGE BS will be able to take the test with an additional set of customized questions (such as the one proposed by Professor Christophe Revelli and his colleagues on “Sustainable Finance”). It should be noted that the EFMD has joined Kedge on the Sulitest College of Partners and that they plan to create a set of questions designed specifically for their Equis auditors.

Any academic willing to do research on data or to customize the test by adding a specific set of questions for their own courses should contact aurelien.decamps@kedgebs.com . Testimonials from our Dean are also available here.

This success once again places Kedge as a reference in terms of Sustainable Development and as an institution working not only to be a leader in the field, but also to have the leadership to shape the higher education system worldwide.
