Leeds Sustainability Case Competition
Description

This competition fosters collaboration, critical thinking, and creativity as teams analyze cases and propose actionable strategies. It not only hones students' problem-solving skills but also aligns with the principles of responsible business and social impact. NICC provides a platform for the next generation of leaders to address societal challenges while gaining practical experience and making a positive difference in the world.

The 2025 Net Impact Case Competition will challenge student competitors to develop an effective, practical biodiversity strategy for a real company. In the face of new and constantly evolving standards across the company's global footprint, students will design a biodiversity plan--including risks, opportunities, dependencies, and impacts--that satisfies regulators and all other primary stakeholders while meshing seamlessly with the company's values and current business strategy.
