BIMTECH and ENCI, Canada, have signed an MoU to advance sustainability education and training. This collaboration will develop innovative Management Development Programs (MDPs) aimed at upskilling professionals with specialised sessions, contextualised case studies, and comprehensive knowledge on various sustainability topics.

 

Birla Institute of Management Technology (BIMTECH), one of India’s top business schools, has signed a strategic Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Earth Nature Climate Initiative (ENCI), a globally recognised organisation based in Canada that specialises in sustainability education and training. This partnership represents a key step toward advancing sustainability-focused education and professional development.

With more than three decades of excellence in business education, BIMTECH is poised to design and deliver cutting-edge programs that meet the growing demand for sustainable practices across industries. ENCI, known for its expertise in sustainability training and knowledge development, will contribute valuable insights to this collaboration, while BIMTECH will leverage its strong academic resources, research capabilities, and industry-oriented programs.

The partnership aims to create innovative management development programs (MDPs) that will equip professionals with the skills needed to strengthen future corporate leadership and promote sustainable business practices. These MDPs will be offered as 3-day and 5-day courses, featuring specialised sessions, contextualised case studies, and in-depth knowledge on various sustainability topics. The programs will provide a range of learning opportunities to enhance professional growth, addressing the evolving needs of the industry.

Dr. Prabina Rajib, Director of BIMTECH, expressed, “In recent years, BIMTECH has made significant strides in integrating sustainability into our core philosophy. This MoU formalises our commitment to sustainable practices, reinforcing our shared goals with ENCI to work toward a more sustainable future. By aligning with ENCI, we amplify our impact and leverage our resources more effectively. Sustainability is not just an activity at BIMTECH, it is deeply embedded in our Vision, Mission, and Values.”

Mr. Panos Alivizatos, Chief Executive Director & Board Member of ENCI, added, “It is a pleasure to work toward a common goal. Our vision is to support sustainability value chains and help achieve key targets. The programs co-developed by BIMTECH and ENCI will start with foundational courses and expand to various sectors such as tourism and energy. These hybrid programs will offer 80% online and 20% in-person attendance, making them accessible to a wider audience. We will also aim to engage board-level executives to help them understand the relationship between sustainability and strategy.”
