EMAS Business School - United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs, DBA Student) Report 2

Firstly, I am declaring that as an EMAS Business School Doctor of Business Administration (DBA) student, I am pledging my support towards the promotion of the UN Sustainable Development Goals, SDGs.

This inspiration and initiative to publically support the UN Sustainable Development Goals, SDG's is the brain child of the EMAS (International) Business School with its Headquarters in Moscow, Russia, but with a number of partnership linkages world-wide. The school, through its community, and mainly its students is therefore spreading good will in the world through the amplification of the significance of embracing the SDGs acroos the planet for common good.

As the EMAS Business School DBA Student, this is my second report on the support of the UN SDG's efforts  since the School implemented this initiative as part of the students'social ranking activities. The aim of this report is to amongst others enforce the agenda on the development goals as inspired by my school.

The first report posted on 12 October 2021 highlighted the importance of promoting the UN SDGs by EMAS Business School students. This second report as initialyl hinted, highlights the 17 UN SDGs, with the aim to create awareness about this noble initative.

The SDGs are 17 in total, and are easily accessible on various websites, mainly the UN Social Media Platforms. The SDGs as chronologically listed below are from the Wikipedia platform, the free encyclopedia on the web.

The 17 SDGs are: 

(1) No Poverty, (2) Zero Hunger, (3) Good Health and Well-being, (4) Quality Education, (5) Gender Equality, (6) Clean Water and Sanitation, (7) Affordable and Clean Energy, (8) Decent Work and Economic Growth, (9) Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure, (10) Reducing Inequality, (11) Sustainable Cities and Communities, (12) Responsible Consumption and Production, (13) Climate Action, (14) Life Below Water, (15) Life On Land, (16) Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions, (17) Partnerships for the Goals

My next reports will unpack the various SDGs - again, with the aim to create awareness abou tthe benefits of upholding each one of them. SDG Goal number four is about Quality Education, which is synomous with EMAS Business School. 

Thefore, my call to action is to inspire everyone next to you to implement the SDG's aspirations to eradicate poverty and hunger and advance good health and well-being. Join me in these efforts to advance the SDGs' agenda. Join EMAS Business School in its quest to make the world a better place through amongst others peace, justice and strong insttiutions, partshipships for the Goals, Life on Land, Life beelow Water, reducing inequality and based on the rest of the 17 SDGs.

EMAS Business School creates a unique and valabule opportunity for its students and graduates to start buildng a career as independent Board of Directors.

 The EMAS Business School has done it again!.

This time, it introduced the Creation of the EMAS Club of BOARDS OF DIRECTORS. The varsity authorities made this announcement today (Wednesday, 12th October 2021) to its student community, graduates and related partners.

The official notice about this initiative as shared on one of the students' informaton sharing and networkshop platforms as well as other varsity social media pages states that several projects are being developed and discussed within the EMAS Ecosystem. One of them is the  EMAS Club Board of Directors. It further says that the concept  and the first draft of the Club Rules have already been discussed among the EMAS teachers on strategic management. And these were ready to be submitted to the general discussions of students and graduates for their input.

The official notice confirms that like EMAS, the Club will expand its activities not only to Russia but also other countries. And that both Russian and International Students can participate in the Club activities.

Taking the liberty to attribute the content of the official notice to the Rector of EMAS Business School who shared the information with the students,  Andrey Kolyada says, "the particpation in the club is a very valuable opportunity for a student or gradue to start building a career as an independent Director and Consultant  in the Boards of Directors, to increase their attractivenessin the labour market as a manager to constantly acquire new competencies  and of course to regularly increase their income.

 "At the same time, this is an equally valuable opportunity for companies that seeek to implement best  corporate practices and would like to receive a Board of Directors to help their managers but have have not yet decided or cannot afford to create one, including - and above all, it concerns the companies that are owned and operated by our students and graduates", Kolyada notes.

He further says that the club will give opportunities to both, and regardelss of the country in which you live and work. Without exaggeration, these opportunities are available only in EMAS. We can do this due to to the fact taht we have very, so to speak, high quality students and there are a lot of them".

The  school wide meeting off all interested students, graduates and teachers to further explain the Club creation and its importance in details  and once again discuss the Club Rules will take place on 19th October 2021.

"After the discussions at the meeting, the rules will undergo final adjustements and soon the work of the Club will be officially started, Kolyada. 

The notice says that the Club already has its own website.

It's states that the number of Club members wll be limited by the actual demand for Boards of Directors from companies plus a small reserve . For example, at the stage of creation of the Club, not more than 20 students, graduates and teachers will be admitte to the Club.  New members will be admitted as soon as companies seeking Boards of Directors appear. 

As the EMAS Ecosystem continues to grow, the school authority has encouraged students to subit related projects that can benefit  the system.

As a student of EMAS Business School, the Boards of Directors Club is a milestone for many especially the corporate world of which some, like here in Namibia find some of the businesses wanting regarding fiduciary functions.

On the other hand, many corporate managers who end up climbing the ladder like the author of this report hardly get targeted training or education on how to be an effective board of directors. EMAS is indeed the winner when it comes to empowering and imparting practical and modern skills in the world of business.

No wonder this initiative is out of EMAS, by EMAS & for EMAS varsity community and partners. God EMAS Business School Go. I am a proud DBA student of EMAS Business School and would like to be associated with the Creation of the Bords of Directors Club.

EMAS DBA Student

Eurasian Management and Administration School (EMAS Business School) and Student's Efforts to support and promote the United Nations (UN) Sustainable Developmment Goals, SDGs

 Firstly, I am declaring that as an EMAS Business School Doctor of Business Administration (DBA) student, I am pledging my support towards the promotion of the UN Sustainable Development Goals, SDGs.

As part of my support towards the UN SDGs as per the inspiration of my varsity, EMAS Business School, I will be writing some reports on these goals as part of this initiative and commitment.

This is my first EMAS Business School UN-SDGs support report.

(EMAS-UN SDGs support initiative 1) .

On Monday, 11th October 2021, my varsity, the EMAS Business School based in Mosco, Russia  issued one of the critical Educational Activity Orders, the Regulations on the new rating system for students of the MBA, Executive MBAand DBA programmes. 

This rating system aims to assess student's achievements which will reflect the personal achievements of students in educational activitieesas well as social activities. This student performance ranking procedure is determined by and updated every three months by calculating ranking indicators of each of the identified categories. The personal students ranking or achievements assessment categories include individual grades, the learning schedule, networking, social activity and projects implemented by the students in accordance with UN Social Development Goals. Promotion of EMAS Business School in the public space and the promotion of the activities and development of the EMAS Business School. This new rating system will be effective as of the last quarter of the year.

Although this noble initiative amongst others aims to inspire students to achieve high marks and pass their individual modules and finally their courses/programmes, what further makes it spectacular is the fact that the school management included the UN Sustainable Developmental Goals, which are aimed at making the world a better place for all. Instilling this noble and feat activity in the minds of students is so critical for saving lives, eradicate hunger and poverty and do as per the 17 UN SDGs expectations.

According to the school authorities (in the notice shared with the students and on the EMAS Business School Face Book Page), " the world around us is constantly changing. The economy, society and trends are changing and those who do not kow how to adapt often lose". The school leadership further says EMAS always strives to improve the quality of its programmes, studies modern tools in the field of business and education and actively implement them in its activities.

This is indeed a special decision for a varsity to inspire its community and especially students to be part of the change they want to see on the planet. And I wonder, how many varsities have so far implemented such a unique initiative to form part of the student's educational activities, but most importantly formal activity which now stands as a regulation and order of the EMAS Business School.

As an EMAS Business School DBA student, I am committed to be part of the change as driven by my school and promise to support the UN SDGs by personally participating in the activities to do just that and promte the 17 SDGs on my various social media platforms and where possible, share these with my friends and colleagues on different ocassions.

My next post will list and highlight the 17 as DG as indicated on the WILIPEDIA page & UN platforms just to create the general awareness about the said SDGs. After that, I will briefly upack each one of the SDGs, again, just to reiterate the importance of its meaning and impact.

Keep watching this space. Only at EMAS Business School and by EMAS Business School students.
