About Today's Show
Welcome to episode 2 Season 5 of #SenecaProud Podcast!
In this episode we talk about sustainability, and Seneca's role as a signatory in the UN Global initiative known as PRME. PRME is an acronym that stands for "Principles for Responsible Management Education." The mandate of PRME is to bring the concept of sustainability into every management classroom, regardless of the subject. Our guest in today's episode, Shahrzad Farzinpak, is not only the Chair of the School of Human Resources and Global Business, Sharhzad also leads Seneca's efforts in this crucial global initiative.
Also in this episode, we also talk about:
1. The meaning of "Triple Bottom Line," and how business leaders of the future will consider more than just financial profits as they grow their businesses.
2. How Seneca students and faculty alike can include sustainability as an ongoing aspect of their daily assignments and class conversations.
3. How Shahrzad's experience prior to joining Seneca in 2014 influences and informs her current work as head of Seneca's PRME Initiative
