Commerce students of the school revamped their business projects for environmental sustainability, incorporating waste reduction, recycling, and eco-friendly practices. Their solutions, developed with local vendors and organizations, were showcased at the school’s Commerce Day event.
Please share a brief background of your innovation.
We challenged our Commerce students to thoroughly re-examine their business projects to redesign every single aspect of it so that it became more environmentally sustainable.
How was the innovation planned?
We started by teaching sustainability concepts, including waste reduction, recycling, and eco-friendly practices as per the UN’s sustainable development goals. We then planned the implementation of the changes to their business plans, engaged with relevant vendors, and collaborated with local organizations. Then we evaluated and implemented the solutions derived during this process which culminated at our Commerce Day event.
What were the challenges faced during implementation?
Budgetary constraints, lack of suitable facilities in Bahrain, curriculum targets.
Give us a brief assessment of your results.
Our results were outstanding. The students were able to re-develop their initial business concepts in a way that revolutionized the manner in which they designed their business practices including driving new operational efficiencies, strategic thinking and sales and marketing concepts.
In hindsight, what were the most valuable lessons learned while implementing the innovation? Could things have been done differently?
Do thorough research on precisely what facilities are available locally, and understand the tax and financial incentives for environmental sustainability.
