AIM2Flourish Executive Summary

We believe confronting the world’s greatest challenges can be profitable and that business is the powerful force that can create a flourishing world for all.

The Opportunity: Accelerating Business for Good The 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGS), or Global Goals, represent an unprecedented opportunity to end poverty and hunger, shift to clean energy, control climate change, and work for peace. Beyond ensuring a livable world for future generations, achieving the Global Goals represents a $12 trillion dollar business opportunity. We need responsible business leaders to respond to this call. AIM2Flourish accelerates the shift to a Business for Good mindset by recognizing the positive impact of today’s business leaders, and changing the way tomorrow’s leaders are taught.

AIM2Flourish Prepares Students to be Global Goals Leaders AIM2Flourish is the world’s first higher-education curriculum, business innovation story platform, and annual prize for the Global Goals and positive business impact. AIM2Flourish’s partners reach more than 2,100 management schools worldwide and the global Business for Good community. Our mission is to accelerate SDGs action by preparing Global Goals leaders. We offer a flexible, professor-facilitated curriculum with presentations, resources, videos, and experiential learning assignments. Using the SDGs as their lens, students identify an innovation, conduct an in-person interview with a business leader, and then write about what they learned. The students’ stories are published on AIM2Flourish.com to inspire other students, business leaders, and investors as part of an engaged global community. We celebrated the best-of-the-best stories with the inaugural 17 Flourish Prizes at the June 2017 Fourth Global Forum at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio. The 2018 Flourish Prizes will be celebrated in Spring 2018 with an innovative, online, low-carbon, virtual celebration leveraging social media and collaborative technology.
