Creating ecopreneur among university student

Yunita Ismail

Abstract


Environmental factors must be taken into account when operating a business in order to keep it viable. Giving sustainability courses utilizing a sustainable development strategy aims to increase students' environmental awareness so they may incorporate environmental care in their business. Students from the Faculty of Business at President University who took a course on sustainability and gained a grasp of its guiding principles were the subjects of this study. The stipulation that the students from the Faculty of Business who had taken the course applied to the sample selection was deliberate. A questionnaire was used to collect the data, which was then analyzed descriptively. According to the results, children' behavior shows that they are already aware of the importance of conserving resources like water, food, and electricity. The majority of students acknowledge that there is water, air, and soil pollution, but they also think that environmental preservation activities are still poorly understood and self-sufficient.
