Business Simulation: Business & ESG / Sustainability (Cesim) 

A business simulation is an experiential learning tool where participants learn by running a virtual business in an interactive, risk-free, and realistic environment. These simulation games help enhance skills in areas such as business acumen, financial and market analysis, operations, decision making, and ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) considerations.

Through the process, participants also refine their abilities in problem solving, teamwork, communication, and leadership.
