The EGADE Action Week initiative by EGADE Business School—Tecnológico de Monterrey has been shortlisted in the QS Reimagine Education Awards 2024 as a Sustainability Education Action category finalist.

This category of the award, sponsored by the International Universities Climate Alliance, recognizes projects that actively implement sustainability education, inspire tangible changes, strengthen campus initiatives and community alliances, and foster a more sustainable future.

Sonia Monarrez, director of Strategic Intelligence at EGADE Business School, explained that EGADE Action Week is an effort to connect with the community and learn, share, and rethink ways to transform businesses to achieve a sustainable impact.

“Through conferences, workshops, exhibitions, book presentations, challenges, and volunteer activities, among other actions, we go beyond the classroom, creating opportunities to learn and participate in diverse ways,” Monarrez stated.

With more than 2,000 participants in its two editions, in 2023 and 2024, EGADE Action Week has played a fundamental role in raising awareness about the importance of sustainable business leadership, emphasizing the role of companies, local governments, and citizens in building a sustainable future.

This nomination reaffirms EGADE Business School's purpose of rethinking the future of business and its impact on Latin America's sustainable development.

This edition of the QS Reimagine Education Awards received over 1,300 entries in the 18 categories, evaluated by more than 800 international judges in a highly rigorous process.

EGADE Action Week was among the top 25% of all the projects nominated, underscoring the initiative's quality and innovation in a highly competitive environment.

These awards from the international ranking organization Quacquarelli Symonds (QS) highlight programs, technologies, and pedagogical approaches that redefine education and prepare students for future challenges.

The winners will be revealed at the closing gala of the QS Reimagine Education Conference 2024, which will be held on December 11 in London, UK.
