Haskayne School of Business

Commitment to Responsible Management Education

Our Sustainability and Ethical Leadership report captures some of the Haskayne School of Business’s many accomplishments from July 2020 to June 2022. As a school, it is our responsibility to develop ethical business leaders of the future who can balance economic goals with sustainability. We strive to promote sustainability as a core element throughout our business teachings and nurture students’ potential to create more sustainable practices, while inspiring others to lead with integrity. The term covered in this report was an exceptionally challenging period where Covid-19 forced us to revamp the way we teach, research and work. However, we met those challenges head-on. First, we broke ground on Mathison Hall, our new, expanded home for the school. The LEED Platinum project will add a dozen new classrooms to the business school as well as new spaces for study, group work, student advising, food services and events. Beyond expanding spaces, we grew our capabilities with faculty, students and staff taking on new roles and priorities, forging meaningful partnerships and achieving tremendous successes – all of which tie back to our core commitment for responsible education. Our Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) Taskforce held focus groups with various stakeholders to finalize the first draft of our EDI Strategy, and we continued to make progress toward a more equitable faculty by hiring more female academic staff. Additionally, we advanced our efforts in embedding Indigenous inclusion in our workplaces and curriculum.
