Introduction

Give students hands-on experience with carbon-conscious decision-making

Sustainability isn’t just a concept. It’s a series of decisions. In this course, students face the real trade-offs behind reducing emissions while keeping service and cost in balance.

In this simulation, they take on executive roles at an orange juice manufacturing company. Their goal is to manage production, procurement, and planning with carbon in mind. They identify where emissions occur, make process changes, and hold suppliers accountable.

It’s an immersive way to build critical thinking, environmental awareness, and the mindset to lead in a low-carbon economy.
