Business Sustainability Booster
The Presidio Business Sustainability Booster shows entrepreneurs how to design sustainability into their businesses from the beginning. The Booster was originally created by Faculty Chair Marsha Willard and her partner, Darcy Hitchcock, under a grant awarded to Presidio from the Lemelson Foundation.
Climate Solutions Simulator
The simulation draws upon the highly acclaimed book Drawdown 1 which is a compilation of the 100 most impactful carbon reduction or sequestering strategies along with their costs and benefits. Working with this information, students are asked to create a package, or legislative bill, of strategies designed to meet specific carbon reduction goals within a pre-established budget. The exercise tests their strategic thinking on the subject while revealing to them the most impactful strategies.
Dictionary of Sustainable Management
This Dictionary of Sustainable Management is an open dictionary for business leaders and students of sustainability and business-related terms. The Dictionary was a project of the alumni and students of Presidio Graduate School.
