[Aaltosbc] We are changing our name! Give us suggestions :)
by Aalto Sustainable Business Club 23 Mar '21

23 Mar '21

Dear SBC members, We are changing our name! The reason for the change is that we want to remove the word "business" from our name to ensure that everyone, no matter from what field, feels welcome to the club. While the word "business" has implied a focus on sustainable business, rather than the study field, it easily creates misunderstandings. So, while we will continue to focus on sustainable business, alongside other important sustainability topics, we will make the name more welcoming to everyone! Share your name suggestions by answering the survey below! https://forms.gle/b7cVEtXufiVAcyJK8 We look forward to your suggestions [image: 🙂] All the best, SBC Board 2021 [image: photo_2021-03-23 15.58.14.jpeg]
