Core themes in the Sustainable Marketing simulation

The Hubro Sustainable Marketing simulation will give your learners an engaging learning experience that shows how sustainability intersects with financials, strategy and operations.

Decision icon
Strategic decision making

Learners have to make strategic decisions that balance financial and environmental sustainability. Should they invest in new product lines, cost-cutting, or cutting emissions? Should they build their own factories or outsource production? These are just some of the decisions they will face.

Decision icon
Environmental sustainability

The learners’ marketers have huge carbon footprints, but the market is pressuring them to reduce their emissions. Becoming a sustainable manufacturer is both a challenge, and an opportunity to gain competitive advantages.

Decision icon
Social responsibility

The marketers have many stakeholders, including employees and the community surrounding the company. The learners will encounter situations and even scandals concerning diversity and equality, the work environment, harassment, and transparency that will impact their performance.

Decision icon
Financial sustainability

Blindly making environment-friendly decisions will not lead to success in the simulation. To make their marketers financially sustainable, the learners must make a profit, maintain a healthy cash flow, and take a position in the growing markets.

Making sustainability part of marketing education

Sustainability

Marketing leaders today need to think about profit, planet and people simultaneously. In Hubro’s Sustainable Marketing simulation, learners are challenged to take on this responsibility whilst considering the many different stakeholders.

Each stakeholder either impacts or is impacted by how the marketing acts. Customers expect sustainable products. Investors factor in climate risk using an ESG index. The government may introduce carbon taxation and governance requirements. Employees and society as a whole expect marketers to behave responsibly and ethically.

To lead their marketers to success, the learners must balance the requirements of all these stakeholders. Short-sighted focus on profit won’t cut it, and neither will blindly making “green” investments. The truly sustainable marketers are both financially and environmentally sustainable.
