Student Clubs

GreenEUR

GreenEUR is an official student organization of the Erasmus University Rotterdam, established in September 2009. The organization aims to make the campus more sustainable. Besides that, GreenEUR’s active members organize a broad range of events to inspire others to consume and produce on an environmentally responsible manner (e.g. efficient use of natural resources, reduction of waste, recycling).

In their opinion, a bottom-up approach - where student participation is promoted at all levels of the organization - is most effective in building towards a sustainable future, since ‘’the students of today are the leaders of tomorrow’’.

Mission

GreenEUR is an independent student organization aiming to:

1. raise awareness concerning the impact of our habits on the environment,
2. inspire students to adopt a more responsible lifestyle and
3. develop a sustainable campus.

Vision

GreenEUR believes that sustainable development is fundamental for meeting the needs of present- and future generations. Our responsibility as students at one of the leading universities is to be a role model in building towards a sustainable future.

RSM MBA chapter of Net Impact 

Net Impact is a U.S.-based non-profit organization with an international mission to make a positive impact on society by growing and strengthening a community of new leaders who use business to improve the world. We offer a portfolio of programs to educate, equip, and inspire more than 10,000 members to make a tangible difference in their universities, organizations, and communities. Headquartered in San Francisco, CA, our central office supports local chapters at MBA programs, other graduate business programs, and in cities. Our staff provides resources, tools, and programs for members and local chapters to use business for positive social and environmental good.

The RSM MBA chapter of Net Impact focuses on Global Business issues in order to:

1. Learn how resolving environmental and social problems can create opportunities instead of additional costs.
2. Discover how framing the solutions to these complex issues lead to innovation and enterprise development.
3. Find out how sustainable competitive strategies can actually improve quality of life and preserve the environmental integrity of our society.

One of the recent activities that members of Net Impact Club have engaged in was attendance at the IESE Doing Good Doing Well conference. Covering themes from corporate social responsibility and social entrepreneurship to investment opportunities in clean technologies and pharmaceutical developments, the conference also provided excellent networking opportunities for the students. A focus on job opportunities in sustainable business, including a careers fair, generated timely advice on what is likely to be one of the better performing specialisations in the current economic climate.
