《110-2 SA》Land Ethics: Red Quinoa Harvest

Written by Teresa Chan

The Red Quinoa Harvest activity was held on the 23rd of February, 2022 in collaboration with the Student Association of International Programs and International Program Office. Last semester, students of the course IB520 Business Ethics and Social Responsibility planted red quinoa, a native Taiwanese species, neat the field of Sizihwan Art Gallery. As the crops matured, the students and professors harvested the crops. The event was organized with an aim to inculcate land ethics values among the students. 

Profs. Chien-Yuan Sher, Yuh-Yuh Li, and Yi Lu, lecturers of the course Business Ethics and Social Responsibility, were also in attendance. Prof. Sher, Director of the International Program, delivered the opening remarks. He noted that while the actions we take now may not provide immediate results, they will pay off in the long run. Planting is analogous to learning; with proper care and attention, it thrives; similarly, the effort and time we put in studies will be valuable and yield rewarding outcomes.

Prof. Li demonstrated how to harvest the plant to encourage students to learn land ethics. Participants could gather all of the fruits they grew last semester with pairs of scissors. To collect red quinoa fruits, seventeen attendees were divided into three groups. Harvesting was completed in half an hour and after thal. The students were so happy to see that what they planted last semester had grown into full crops with beautiful leaves and whole fruits. The SA team had prepared healthy lunch boxes for all participants which was shared at the end of the event. The SA team's goal is to enrich students' lives while caring for each student's health.

"On the harvest day, it was astonishing to see how beautiful red quinoa is. Previously, I only ate red quinoa products, not knowing what they looked like. The power of nature is magnificent, and it inspires me that ‘As you sow, so shall you reap.’” (George Chang 張傑志, IBMBA 1st year student)

“This event inspired me a lot. As what Prof. Sher said, ‘planting is like studying; you will not see the results at first. With the endeavor devoted every day, we will see the fruitful results of our effort.’ I did not understand the purpose of planting red quinoa originally, yet I was willing to volunteer to water them. After three months, I saw the mature red quinoa fruit, and I realized that what I did paid off. Moreover, I also experience the superpower of nature. Once we respect and take good care of the land, it will reward us. Thanks to professors, the International Program office, and SA for organizing this event which moved me.”
(Angela Wu 吳含茵, IBMBA 1st year student)

Business ethics and social responsibility are critical for businesses. To succeed as a businessperson, we must learn to maximize earnings while also taking care of the environment and society. To accomplish Corporate Social Responsibility, academic knowledge alone is insufficient; we must exercise autonomously and learn via experience. The International Program's mandatory subject Business Ethics and Social Responsibility focuses on corporate social responsibility (CSR) and ethics.

In the CSR section, lecturers discuss concepts and case studies and allow students to develop a commercially viable global challenge that will also benefit stakeholders of students’ potential business. The fundamental concepts of ethics are discussed, but the emphasis is on land ethics or humans' moral responsibility to the natural world. Work ethics and cases that students may encounter in the future in the workplace.

Reduce, Reuse and Recycle: Student Association Organizes ‘Upcycle Contest’ To Encourage Creative Sustainability

In the world that we live in today, the importance of sustainable development goals (SDGs) cannot be stressed further. To instill the value of the SDGs set forth by the UN and to encourage sustainable living, the Student Association of International Programs organized the ‘Upcycle Contest’; participants had to reuse everyday materials and come up with the most creative item/artwork they can think of.

Judges for the competition included former Program Director Chien-Yuan Sher and Deputy Director Thijs Velema. The artwork/item was judged on creativity, originality, innovation, and effective use of reused materials. A 'popularity award' was also presented to the participant that received the highest amount of Facebook likes and shares for their creation. The winners weren't just handed a certificate but were awarded cash prizes of 2000, 1500, and 1000 NTD for the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place finishes, respectively. The popularity award was also offered 1000 NTD in cash.

The contest drew a huge response from NSYSU students. A total of nine teams competed in the contest:

Team #1: Mashi

Team #2: 627 by Cao Huynh Hong Phan, La Hanh Phuong and Ha Thi Xuan

Team #3: Indo-art by Keval Mehta and Sushila Kumawat

Team #4: HiHa by Tran Khanh Chi and Dang Phoung Thao

Team #5: Vision by Volha Sakhatskaya

Team #6: FRANCYCLE YOUNG MONEY A$$ by Francisco Huang

Team #7: LILAS by Bui Thi Thanh Nhan

Team #8: Ophiotaurus by Ysanne Chen

Team #9: YCP by Elsa and Tiara

After intense deliberation, the third prize went to Bui Thi Nhan (team: LILAS) from IBMBA. Showing off her creativity, she completely transformed an old jean pant into stunning home décor items. The second place was adjusted to team YCP consisting of Elsa from GHRM MBA and Tiara from ICAPS. Out of cardboard, newspapers, and other old household materials, they came up with a quirky candy dispenser.

Finally, and deservingly, the first place went to Ysanne Chen (team: Ophiotaurus) from IBMBA for her meticulously designed orca (killer whale) artwork. Seeing numerous bottle caps lying around, Ysanne was well aware that they can be an environmental hazard, and she decided to put them to good use and come up with a stunning piece of art. The popularity award was given to Tran Khanh Chi and Dang Phoung Thao (team: HiHA) from CLC and GHRM MBA, respectively.

GHRM MBA congratulates all the participants and winners for showcasing their talent and creativity and displaying their passion for creating a more sustainable world. In the future, GHRM MBA will continue to organize contests and events that not only encourages creativity and innovation but also addresses real-life problems.

GHRM MBA Students Score 3rd Prize At The 7th CSR Captain Program

At the recently concluded 7th CSR Captain Program, GHRM MBA and IBMBA students performed stupendously. Team "REMS" and "We Can Help" bagged the 2nd and 3rd prizes, respectively. Today, we share the experience of 3rd prize winners Mandy Chen, Michal Polacek, Cindy Ho, and Reianthong Vongsangkam, all 1st-year GHRM MBA students.

The 7th CSR Captain Program espouses students to promote the CSR program. Three companies that are currently investing in CSR were a core part of the competition. Each company got four teams to help solve their problem and provide recommendations and suggestions relating to CSR. This year, the goals were also in tune with the SDG's set in by the UN.

All the group members are currently taking Prof. Ryan Brading's Business Ethics and Social Responsibility Course. It was because of Prof. Ryan's encouragement that they decided to take part in the competition. Their group name was "We Can Help," which drew inspiration from "Taiwan Can help." True to their name, "We Can Help" stood out from the rest because they didn't merely come up with proposals and recommendations but emphasized the implementation. 

We Can Help had to work with Domi-a company that strives to make the world more environmentally friendly. For their presentation, We Can Help focused on "Energy Poverty." Unlike other teams, the group members had to hold numerous rounds of interviews with the company to derive precise data and information. After collecting all the data and executing intensive research, the team members recommended marketing strategies to Domi.

Even though it was a whole month of intense competition, our students also made some invaluable memories. For Mandy, it was the first workshop in Taipei as they had to take the earliest HSR to Taipei, which was at 6 AM. Mandy recalls fond memories after the workshop when they went to a bar and shared each other's stories. According to Cindy, working as a team and learning to compromise and communicate was the most memorable moment. Reianthong shares that through the case studies of CSR presented at the competition, he gained invaluable knowledge.

It wasn't all easy for the We Can Help group members as they had to encounter various hurdles, but they persevered and eventually came through. As for the biggest challenge, Michal Shares:

"For me, it was getting the data from the company because in the competition, in the end, there were three companies. From the presentation, the two companies provided probably way more data than our company provided us. So, getting the data from our company was the biggest challenge. We had to call them many times, send emails, and have online meetings"

Despite all the hard work, We Can Help didn't expect to score a podium finish, so they were pleasantly surprised at the result. The group members particularly noted that it was their comprehensive report that impressed the judges. Mandy shares:"I think our presentation was great, but the other teams were stronger. I think it was our report that made us stand out. "

It wasn't all about the prize, but our students gained valuable knowledge from the competition, which will guide them in their future endeavors. For Mandy and Michal, discovering that one can make a living and do business and, at the same time, make the world a better place was the biggest lesson. For Reianthong, it was his first time participating in a competition, so the whole process was a great learning process. Cindy also notes that she's an introvert and is nervous with presentations, but she learned to overcome it through the competition. 

They already have their hands full. For the entire December, they are going to work on marketing strategies for Domi. Not just that, they are also formulating marketing strategies for a Pharmacy who contacted Domi for assistance. As a note of thanks, We Can Help team members extend their gratitude to the International Programs Office, particularly Cindy and Scarlett, Prof. Ryan Brading, and their classmates for encouraging and helping them out throughout the entire competition.

Congratulations to Reianthong, Michal, Cindy, and Many for exceeding their expectations and performing brilliantly at the 7th CSR captain Program. This is just the start of many good things to come, and we are confident you will continue to bring laurels to the university.

Facta Non-Verba: NSYSU International Programs Take Action Towards A Better Environment Through Beach Cleaning Activity

Right now, the earth needs the younger generation to take care of it more than ever. #NSYSU is proud to have students who excel in both academics and extracurricular activities and take action to make the world a better place. On the 27th of November, the Student Association held "Cleaning The Beach And Dining” to raise #environmentalawareness.

More than 30 students took part in the event. The group met up at Gushan Ferry Dock and made their way to Cijin Beach. The participants enjoyed not only the beautiful scenery but also the time chatting with the other participants during the ten-minute drive. The Deputy Director of the International Programs, Prof. Frank Wong and Professors Ryan Brading, despite their busy schedule, attended the activity as well. Professor Frank Wong gave a short speech thanking the crowd and advised the students to be careful while cleaning. The President of SA, Joy, then talked about environmental awareness and announced the safety instructions.

The participants worked in groups and roamed all around the park and the beach, collecting trash and making the surrounding cleaner and healthier. Aurora Elsa, a 2nd-year GHRM MBA student, remarked that she always enjoys attending events organized by the SA, but this one was special as it was not just enjoyable but timely and relevant as well. Kudos to SA for holding another exciting event.

GHRM MBA And IBMBA Students Finishes 2nd At CSR Captain Program: Sam Lee Recalls Her Fond Memories

NSYSU GHRM MBA students have been winning competitions one after another this year, and they have done it once again. Sam Lee, GHRM MBA 2nd year student, finished 2nd at the prestigious CSR Captain Program along with her teammates Erica Liu and Rossie Lim, 1st-year IBMBA students, and Mashi Zhang, 2nd-year IBMBA student. Today, we share Sam's experience from the prestigious competition.

The competition offers students an opportunity to understand Taiwan's corporate culture while responding to global CSR movements. The competition involves the formulation of a team, including local and international students. The first prize winner of the "CTCI CSR Scholarship" receives NT$20,000, second prize winners receive NT$16,000, and the third prize winners receive NT$12,000.

Sam found out about the competition through GHRM Family and CTCIEF Facebook page's, and when she was asked by her friend Mashi to join her team, she gladly accepted. Sam's team was known as REMS, which not only stands for 'Responsibility and Enthusiasm Makes Sustainability' but is also an abbreviation of the first letter of each of the group members' names. 

For their topic, Sam and her group members were assigned to help DiDi-a non-profit organization that aims to make the world a better place for the virtually impaired by assisting them in finding gainful employment. To help DiDi, Sam and her group did intensive research. She shares:

"We used SWOT analysis to understand more about the company, then choose one problem – customer retention to solve. We come up with the idea – creating more products to attract customers (because if customers join their events, they never join the next time), our ideas include games in the darks that customers can play together and understand their partners, or dining/tea in the dark which focus on enterprise, organizations,… to solve the problems in business, or understand more their employees,…"

Through the competition, Sam got to befriend amazing people who understood each other and were willing to work together. In the near future, she hopes to join more competitions with her REMS group members. It wasn't always easy for Sam and her group members, but whenever they were indecisive, they would hold a vote or ask the organization for guidance. In the end, they persevered and came through. Sam notes that teamwork, friendship, and learning to be open-minded towards others' ideas were the most valuable things she learned from the competition.

When the results were announced, it was a moment of bliss for Sam and her team, but they were also a little disappointed that they didn't win first prize. Sam shares her thoughts about finding out the results:

"That was so amazing because at that time I presented not well, but Rossie rocked it, she helped our team to finished our parts on time and delivered fulfilled messages to the judgement. We were really happy and a little disappointed because we were not lucky enough to win the first prize"

Sam is grateful for her team members and shares a short but meaningful message:"Thank you, my friends, 'cause you come to my life. I will always remember you guys. Save our days 28/11/2020"

We are beyond delighted that GHRM MBA and IBMBA students continuously bring prestige to the university by performing stupendously at competitions. Congratulations to Sam and her team, and we wish them only the best for their future endeavors.

Asia Pacific Youth Exchange Online And Global Innovation Idea Competition: GHRM MBA & IBMBA Students Triumphs!

Fresh off the victory at “Taiwan In My Eyes’ NSYSU students have done it once again and emerged victorious at the recently concluded Asia Pacific Youth Exchange Online And Global Innovation Idea Competition. Today, we reminisce about the competition with the first-place winner's Sam Lee and Leanne Shih, from the GHRM MBA program, Jasmine Chang and Keval Mehta from IBMBA, and the program co-ordinator Edward Tseng also from IBMBA.

For APYE Online And GSIIC, participants were requested to develop a business plan relating to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly relating to the issues created by Covid-19. The competition aims to empower the younger generation, raise awareness of timely issues and co-create youth-led and youth ideate development interventions. There were two parts of the competition: ideation and final pitching-our students got the first place in the final pitching stage of the competition.

Sam discovered about the competition through Facebook and decided to contact the rest of the members if they were interested in participating to which all the group members agreed. For Leanne, the opportunity to learn something new motivated her to participate, and Keval comments that since it was organized by the UN, the 'credibility,' as well as the bigger platform offered by the online mode of the competition, provided an impetus for participating. Sam also says that the certificate received through the competition will be valuable for her future. According to Jasmine, it was the opportunity to learn from different people that inspired her to compete.

With a catchy yet meaningful group name as "Greennovation," it’s no wonder our students caught the attention of the organizers. It was Leanne that came up with this quirky name. She shares:

"Since our program is related to some eco-friendly products and this competition asked us to give some innovative ideas, so I just combined these two words and came up with the name"

For the topic of their presentation, they had to focus on one or more SDGS’s out of 17. Greennovation members decided to concentrate on the timely and relevant SDGS of 'no poverty, 'decent work and economic growth,' 'industry, innovation and infrastructure,' 'sustainable cities and communities,' 'responsible consumption and production,' and 'climate action.' Our students provided meticulously researched solutions to the problem of excessive use of plastic shopping bags and improving self-reliance and localized production.

Throughout the entire run of the competition, the team members also forged some unforgettable memories. Sam reminisces that they would play some games after the presentation to relax and spend some time together, and she says, "it was a good time." For Leanne, it was the building of friendship and learning to work as a team that meant the most.

But it wasn’t all fun and games as our students encountered some challenges as well. Keval mentions that some of the other teams were already established and were already running social businesses and were much stronger than them. Greennovation members were in an ideation stage while some were already in an implementation stage. However, by some stroke of luck, the organizers decided to split the competition into an 'ideation' and 'implementation' part, and in the later, our students persevered and came out on top. Leanne also mentions that since the judges didn't like their idea initially, they worked harder and made their idea more reasonable and workable. 

When they found out that they made it to the top 8, the team members were very surprised. In fact, they didn’t even know when the top 8 were announced, but when the list was displayed, they were enthralled, surprised, and happy to see their group name. After that, they had to quickly do the final presentation for about 5 minutes. After days of brainstorming, researching, dealing with setbacks, and formulating their ideas, Greennovation bagged the first place. Leanne described the moment as 'amazing.' What is even more amazing about their victory is that they weren’t just competing with groups from Taiwan. In fact, they went head to head with 40 highly accomplished groups representing 17 countries from the Asia Pacific region. 

The group members also shared that it wasn’t the monetary prize that mattered but the learning and enriching experience. For Keval, it was the ‘skill development’ and learning to do an online presentation that he valued the most. Edward, who provided information and necessary support to the team, comments that the process of seeing team Greenovation’s project develop from a nascent to a full-fledged plan was the most valuable experience. He also encouraged the group members to make a small prototype of their social business.

From the competition, Jasmine also saw the positive side of humanity and was inspired as she shares:

"I learned that although life is hard and there are a lot of problems in the world, there are also a lot of people trying to make the world better. "

As of now, due to their busy schedules, the team members have decided to halt their project momentarily. In the future, they hope to bring their project to fruition and contribute to the SDGs. 

From a small idea to dealing with setbacks and finally winning, NSYSU GHRM MBA & IBMBA students Sam, Leanne, Jasmine, and Keval have brought honor to the university. NSYSU GHRM MBA is immensely proud of their achievement and encourages all students to replicate their participative nature, hard work, and dedication.

IBMBA & GHRM MBA“Love Nature” Video Contest

IBMBA & GHRM MBA Students Association held the video contest called “Love nature” from March 19th to April 30th, 2020. The whole idea behind this event was to encourage students to think and care more about the environment. It is known that NSYSU is located on a magnificent territory surrounded by mountains and the ocean and full of unique fauna. Thus, it is very important to strike a balance between human and nature. Being an university with global vision, NSYSU is very environmentally friendly and, also,  is an active participant in the program Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), where goal 15 is “Life on Land”. Therefore, IBMBA and GHRM MBA students in their videos shared their ideas on how to protect the unique nature and animals in the university, and also inspired others to think more about this global problem. 

Three teams participated in the competition: “Gone with the Wind” team which included Le Ngoc Bich Thuy (李 珊）and Truong Lam Huong (張藍香), “Ocean Innovation” team with Tseng HuaYi(曾華翊)  and SU, LIANG-WEI(蘇良委), and “Tai-one in Nature” team with Justine Pura(傅佳璟). The participants were supposed to shoot the five minute videos that were published on the SA Facebook page. Next step was a voting period which lasted about a week. According to the rules, the video with the most amount of “likes” and “shares” would win. 

Each team aims to bring important messages to us. The “Gone with the Wind” team aims to bring the message “give your hands to build it up as a better place for next students' generation” ;“Ocean Innovation” team emphasized the ocean waste issue risen dramatically. According to recent research, 80% Sea Area contains marine waste, 100% discovery rate of micro-plastic in 51 measuring point. It’s time to TAKE ACTION. Any single action can gather a lot of great idea to solve our social problem. “Ocean Innovation” team welcome all comments and encourage everyone to be part of ocean innovation challenge;  “Tai-one in Nature” team aims to attract everyone’s attention by its eye-catching video and remind us that it is our role as humans to love and protect our nature and to preserve plants and animals, and all assets of nature as we have been reminded since we were kids to conserve nature.

On April 30th, SA calculated likes and shares carefully then announced the result. “Tai-one in Nature” took the 1st prize, “Gone with the Wind” won the 2nd prize and “Ocean Innovation” got the 3d prize. Apart from that,  “Gone with the Wind” Le Ngoc Bich Thuy (李 珊）and Truong Lam Huong (張藍香) won a special Social Media Prize for getting the most amount of “views”. All videos are available at our SA Facebook page via this link: https://www.facebook.com/pg/SA.NSYSU.KAOHSIUNG/videos/?ref=page_internal

The award ceremony was held by the International Office and Students Association on 7th of May. Sharon  Wang, Director of the International Programs, handed each participant the certificate and a coupon with the main prize.

We congratulate all the teams again and look forward to having more competitions in the near future!

國立中山大學GHRM MBA與IMAPA研究生-聯合國永續經營

國立中山大學GHRM MBA與IMAPA研究生(台灣、越南、法國、祕魯)聯合組隊參與【2020年第六屆台灣120h-永續好行】，榮獲實地探索的最終隊伍

管院人力資源管理全英語碩士學位學程(GHRM MBA)的台籍生陳冠廷（Harris）、越南生李珊Le Ngoc Bich Thuy(Sam), 法籍生Larissa、祕魯生Nohelia組成【Game Changers】隊伍，經過層層關卡，最終評選為12組決賽隊伍之一。

第一階段，組員須提交對於企業社會責任(以下簡稱CSR)以及聯合國永續發展目標(SDGs)的認知，以及為何想參與本項計畫提出可執行的方向和動機，經過書面評審後，才可進入到第二階段，繼續詳細規畫有關CSR和SDGs的台灣實地探索活動和學習，除了有指定的企業或機構進行參訪外，參賽者也必須選定至少6個台灣在地企業，來進行國內企業之永續執行概況和成果，同時也必須結合聯合國17項永續發展目標，真正地探索台灣永續人、事、物、地與文化。

參賽者在行程中將陸續造訪五家標竿企業，其中中鼎工程、玉山金控人力資源所、遠東百貨A13綠色夢工廠、瑞助營造台中廠，再加上自選企業做為整體參賽的活動主軸。藉由業家專家的經驗傳授和分享，提高大眾對於企業社會責任和永續經營觀念的執行度。【Game Changers】成員Sam表示在執行上遇到最大的困難則是選定所想造訪的企業，由於SDGs有17大項細則，必須專注在幾項徹底了解，才能鑽研得更深，並同時須觀察是否有台灣在地企業符合此項標準，如何從個體的角度對企業的認知做為出發，為社會、人權、環境盡一分最大的努力外，也須衡量經營成本和營利關係，也是個重要的學習課題。

但因全球武漢肺炎之故，決賽原定於2020年2月10日至2月14日進行，目前暫定順延至2020年7月進行。

2019社會事業區域論壇 中山學生倡減塑提「環保杯租借機」

【人科學程提供】兩岸三地交流社企經驗，國立中山大學師生出席由香港中文大學尤努斯社會事業中心舉辦「2019社會事業區域論壇～包容性社會創新與大學社會責任」，中山學生並在會中分享社會企業創業經驗，教師團也分享執行大學社會責任的經驗，透過交流讓兩岸三地成為彼此的他山之石。尤努斯社會事業中心教授黃洪認為，香港未談及大學社會責任，較多在談社會影響力(social impact)，「台灣的相關經驗非常能讓我們借鏡。」

論壇中以「包容性社會創新」為第一主題，邀請到來自中國大陸、香港、台灣三地的優秀青年社會創新團隊相互交流彼此的成果，並邀請與會專家學者給予發展建議。「大學社會責任」為該論壇第二主題，邀請來自三個地區擁有相關經驗的學者來分享各自的經驗，中山大學西灣學院服務學習教育中心楊士奇及人文暨科技跨領域學士學位學程助理教授宋世祥代表出席。

宋世祥在工作坊中帶領學生運用「文化冰山模型」重新去檢驗「社會創新人物誌」，從中挖掘真正的創新切入點，也在工作坊中指出社會創新有「認知、行動、同盟與系統」4個層面，可以從4個面向來檢驗社會問題、社會創新與社會願景之間的連續性。宋世祥也分享在USR計畫中結合「設計思考」、「創意街區發展與設計思考」、「藝術行政與活動企劃」、「跨領域創新專題」等課程，與社區、學生、業師一起打造「鹽夏不夜埕」街區活動的經驗，探討如何運用課程資源打造在地特色進而翻轉街區印象。

楊士奇則在論壇中分享中山大學的USR-C類「高雄新灣舊港的創新、創業與創生」經驗，分別介紹校內團隊在高雄市鹽埕區、前鎮草衙區、旗津區、旗山區等地方的社會創新嘗試。其中前鎮草衙區中因為受產業轉型影響產生不少弱勢家庭問題，計畫團隊透過在地調查、策展、陪伴等策略協助他們重新找回在地認同，進而找到翻轉現狀的機會。

中山大學學生張雁翔、黃冠益與廖雅琳組成「環我杯子-義杯杯」，提出全世界當前1年產生4000多億個塑膠杯，帶來非常大的環境負擔。團隊提出新的環保杯計畫，要從中山大學出發，以在出入交通節點設置環保杯租借機，來為減塑盡一份心力。

尤努斯社會事業中心安排至香港人口最多元、貧富差距最懸殊的深水埗參觀導覽外，亦舉辦社會創新的培力工作坊，分別從反思社會創新對象、社會行銷、社會企業商業模式等角度切入，帶領學子重新反思優化自己的社會創新計畫。學生也在最後分享如何從彼此的交流與刺激和工作坊中得到的收穫，甚至如何從中修正自己的社會創新運作機制。

「Team SCR」順利於初賽脫穎而出進入課程培訓，本次課程培訓由安永會計事務所、遠東百貨、國泰金控、遠傳電信、台積電等企業代表授課，希望藉由業界專家的經驗傳授，提高大家對於社會永續觀念執行度的了解。「Team SCR」成員表示，這些分享道出了許多夢幻企劃案執行上會遇到的困難，很多時候即使花了大把的經費，卻不見得有相對應的成效，如何從公司的角度出發，為社會、環境盡一份心力，就成了除了營利外最重要的課題。

決賽則於5月19日於中鼎集團總部大樓展開，「Team SCR」團隊被指定的企業為EY安永會計事務所，在報告中隊員不但清楚介紹了安永的公司背景與經驗，並以SWOT分析，針對其優勢以及機會提出了詳盡的社會企業責任創意企劃案。其中更涵括了聯合國永續發展目標的第4、6、14、15項，分別與個案企業的高中生職涯體驗營，中華民國自然生態保育協會和台灣環境資訊協會的現有活動結合，用簡單和輕鬆的方式付諸行動。決賽隊伍共有來自台灣9所大學院校、17國共44位台灣生和外籍學生參加，最後,「Team SCR」表現優異獲得優秀隊伍獎項。

林鴻怡同學表示，此次活動收穫甚多，不但有機會一窺企業的做法，還接觸到了聯合國制定17項永續發展目標，從學術到實做，了解如何學以致用。如同CTCIEF董事長暨CCS理事長，同時也是中華民國總統特聘無任所大使簡又新所言，千禧一代年輕人和戰後嬰兒潮世代的前輩們對事情已經有不同的見解，所作所為不再是圍繞著經濟，事不宜遲，年輕世代是時候貢獻社會，為環境奮鬥，對地球展現愛！

本次競賽獲獎名單：臺灣科技大學CHC Bubble Tea隊榮獲第一名；臺北大學鳶飛三角湧隊及成功大學JIGY隊榮獲第二、三名；優秀隊伍分別為中山大學Team SCR隊、交通大學VEGA隊、政治大學A Whole New World隊、淡江大學Lagom隊、淡江大學Voice for Justice隊、臺灣大學CWE(CROSS WORLD ENVISION)隊、臺灣科技大學Green Future隊、臺灣師範大學藍色多瑙河 Blue Danube。
