From October 19 to 23, we celebrated Sustainability Week at ISEG.
A Sustainability Week 2026 It is integrated into the coursework and offers a broad and diverse program, with opportunities for learning, reflection, and participation in the various aspects of sustainability. This is also the time when we share the findings of ISEG’s 2025 Sustainability Report.
Throughout the week, we will hold discussions and activities focused on topics such as: sustainability as a factor in business competitiveness; innovation and social impact; best practices for healthier work environments; the climate transition and its economic costs; and education for sustainability.
The program also includes a hands-on component, featuring a Circular Economy activity led by the MAIS (More Awareness in Society) team, which focuses on transforming clothing into tote bags. Also planned are an activity in ISEG’s mini-forest and a training session for the cleaning staff on the importance of sorting recyclable waste on campus.
A survey on student and faculty mobility will also be launched, and a bottle collection station will be set up in partnership with VOLTA; the proceeds from this initiative will be donated to a charitable organization.
The week concludes with the final round of the ISEG ESG 2026 Award, in partnership with NTT DATA and the Lisbon City Council, which recognizes the best master’s theses on sustainability topics.
The entire ISEG community is invited to participate and get involved in this week’s activities, led by experts, faculty members, and institutional partners.
