Abstract:
Perhaps the last two decades in the business world have been most tumultuous, eventful and
controversial. For the first time in the Industrial history so many scandals and intolerant business
behaviors have surfaced. Therefore, the need for the fundamental correction to the education ecosystem
is echoing in the academic landscape across the world. Therefore, people all over the world have started
doubting the very fundamentals of the education system particularly in the higher levels. At the same time
they expect the academics to take the proactive role in mending the eroded business values and corporate
responsibility. Today more than ever, the onus lies on the academic institutions to redraw the boundaries
of business behaviors, and help create generations of workforce that would make businesses and
governments more responsible and sustainable. A strong partnership involving the educators, students
and institutes can make environment protection a culture; such alliance can also make environmental
governance effective and sustainable. The paper aims at integrating the efforts of vital elements of the
campus i.e. educators, students and the institute, which would make campuses the agents of change in
sustainability and corporate responsibility. The paper envisions a model of synergy between educators,
students and the institutes.
