About the Sustainable Business Law Hub
Launched in Fall 2021, the Sustainable Business Law Hub is an incubator space, student-training program, research endeavor, and think tank devoted to addressing global sustainability challenges through policy and research projects, relationships with the business community, and capacity building in private environmental governance. The Hub will incorporate the three pillars of sustainability—economic, social and environmental welfare—into global business practices by engaging in research and policy development, improving public law and governance, and working with existing industry, the small business community, startups, and the community at-large to develop and employ innovative private environmental models and sustainability practices, such as those that promote a circular economy. The Sustainable Business Law Hub oversees a student-oriented program where selected student participants, known as SubHub Scholars, will receive practical training and mentorship in using the law to foster sustainable business practices. The Sustainable Business Law Hub hosts an annual conference and collaborates with partners on various projects on the topic. The Hub’s activities are guided by an Advisory Board of faculty, alumni, and professionals in the field.
