Why sustainability simulations matter?

The Sustainable Business Game matters because it transforms theoretical learning into lived experience. By stepping into the roles of workers, managers, or government officials, students actively explore how sustainability challenges unfold across value chains and how different priorities and constraints shape real-world outcomes. The game encourages perspective building—seeing sustainability dilemmas through the eyes of others—and self-reflection, as students recognize how their values, assumptions, and trade-off choices influence their decision-making. It helps bridge knowledge and practice by immersing students in complex, uncertain contexts where they must balance environmental, social, and economic objectives. Core concepts embedded in the game include trade-offs in sustainability, supply chain governance, business model transitions, leadership under uncertainty, and decision-making across multi-level systems. Through this experiential process, students strengthen critical and strategic thinking, appreciate the interdependence of global actors, and develop the mindset and creativity required for leading sustainable transformation in practice.
