HESI (Higher Education Sustainability Initiative)
Visit Website →HESI galvanises higher education's contribution to the SDGs through teaching, research, campus operations, and policy engagement, bringing universities into closer alignment with global sustainability priorities. GRLI has played a catalytic role as a founding member and active contributor, supporting governance and working groups and helping strengthen the collaborative voice of higher education—especially in UN-linked processes such as the High-Level Political Forum. For GRLI, HESI is also a bridge: it connects management education transformation to the broader higher education sustainability movement and expands opportunities for cross-network collaboration on urgent issues such as climate action.
