Dr. Aitzaz Ahsan Alias Sarang

On behalf of the School of Business Studies, IBA Karachi, I am pleased to invite you to the 4th SBS International Conference, scheduled for June 13–14, 2025.

The future of people and the planet is at risk due to climate change and current business practices. This year's conference, 'Transforming Business for People and Planet,' highlights the urgent need to integrate inclusivity, environmental sustainability, and social responsibility into business strategy.

As researchers, educators, and business scholars, we have a duty to guide organizations toward inclusive and sustainable business practices. This transformation is not just a regulatory or moral imperative—it is a competitive necessity. Businesses that fail to embrace eco-sustainability and responsible business practices risk losing relevance in a world where stakeholders demand stronger business leadership that prioritizes both people and the planet.

This conference will bring together leading academics, corporate leaders, and policymakers to explore actionable solutions for businesses striving to transform their practices and contribute to a more inclusive and sustainable world. Through panel discussions, research presentations, and case studies, we look forward to a dialogue on how businesses can transition from traditional practices to integrating sustainable strategies that prioritize both people and the planet.

We invite you to join this important dialogue and contribute to shaping the future of responsible business.

Thank you, and we look forward to welcoming you to IBA Karachi.
