SUSTEX is Focused on Leadership for Sustainability, Inspired By the Belief That:
-
Business leaders and their organizations should have a higher purpose beyond enriching financial stakeholders and themselves.
-
In addition to economic profits, leaders are responsible for employee well-being, for their communities, for the disenfranchised, and for the earth we all inhabit.
-
As a legacy, leaders must leave a sustainable flourishing world for our next generations to inherit.
Keynote Speakers
This year, keynote speakers include Professor Inara Scott of Oregon State University, author of Sustainable Capitalism, who will examine how corporations can integrate sustainability into their core strategies rather than as an afterthought, and Syed Fahim, Global ESG Manager at Schlumberger, who will provide a global perspective on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) strategies and corporate sustainability initiatives.
Beyond the keynote speakers, industry experts from ERCOT, Oncor, Austin-Bergstrom International Airport, and the Copperas Cove Economic Development Corporation will lead discussions on sustainable business practices, infrastructure resilience, and environmental responsibility.
Additionally, A&M-Central Texas faculty members Dr. Barbara Altman and Dr. Leyla Orudzheva will host a stakeholder engagement workshop exploring collaborative solutions for advancing sustainability.
Mission:
Texas A&M University–Central Texas College of Business Administration, through SUSTEX 2025, seeks to engage and empower students and the Central Texas community in exploring current sustainability trends, opportunities, and challenges to foster the research and practice of sustainable development that balances economic, social, and environmental performance.
