PRME PRINCIPLE 1: PURPOSE We will develop the capabilities of students to be future generators of sustainable value for business and society at large and to work for an inclusive and sustainable global economy. University Strategy The current strategy reflects a sustainability oriented approach. One of University’s the key objectives is to be sustainable and ethical, and to continually enhance our intellectual, physical and financial resources so that future generations of scholars and students can continue the advancement of knowledge for the public good. The sustainability plan3 identifies key impact areas as sustainability University’s management and governance, education and research for future generations, and social, environmental, economic and supply chain impacts. One of the key sustainability principles at the University is to integrate sustainability into curriculum, operations and research, and embed the sustainability into the culture and practices at the University. The strategic plan also identifies essentials that must be incorporated in all University’s of our degrees. These are Global Citizenship, Innovation and Entrepreneurship, and Sustainability Thinking. In the course of their studies, all La Trobe students reflect on the opportunities and obligations of their citizenship in a global context. This entails an understanding of the broader global context, comprehension of diversity of values across the globe and the skills and the drive to interact effectively with a diverse range of people, communities and institutions on a global scale. All students are also introduced to the concepts of innovation and entrepreneurship, where they understand change dynamics, generate and manage ideas, network and forge partnerships and eventually become capable of transferring their theoretical knowledge into the practical business world. Sustainability thinking is deeply embedded
