The Sustainability Case Writing Awards, led by Ivey Publishing in collaboration with PRME (Principles for Responsible Management Education), is dedicated to educating future business leaders on critical sustainability challenges and empowering them to create meaningful change. This webinar is designed to prepare educators, students, and sustainability advocates with practical strategies for developing impactful sustainability cases and preparing for submission to the PRME Sustainability Case Writing Awards.

About this webinar:

In this session, join Violetta Gallagher (Ivey Publishing) and Meredith Storey (PRME) as they share practical guidance on turning draft sustainability cases into strong, award-ready submissions. Drawing on real examples, the panelists will explore what distinguishes effective sustainability cases, common pitfalls to avoid, and strategies to strengthen clarity, alignment, and pedagogical impact.

Case Spotlight:

Participants will dive into last year’s winning case, ECOEX: Plastic Waste Management Marketplace Revolutionizing the Circular Economy, to examine best practices and practical exercises on how to:

• Align theory with a real-world business context
• Clearly articulate learning objectives
• Strengthen the link between sustainability challenges, decision points, and classroom use

A live Q&A will give participants the opportunity to ask publishing and submission-related questions, explore alignment with PRME pedagogy, and receive last-minute guidance to strengthen final drafts.

What you will learn:

• Submission best practices: Insights from experienced reviewers on what makes a strong, award-winning sustainability case.
• Applying PRME pedagogy: Practical ways to meaningfully integrate PRME principles and sustainability frameworks into sustainability cases.
• Avoiding common pitfalls: Where sustainability case submissions often fall short and how to address issues of focus, clarity, and impact.
• Final-stage guidance: Strategies to polish draft cases and maximize their effectiveness for sustainability-focused teaching and case writing awards.
