International Business Ethics and Sustainability Case Competition

April 7-11, 2025

The 2025 International Business Ethics and Sustainability Case Competition (IBESCC) will be a hybrid competition held online and in-person on the Loyola Marymount University (LMU) campus during the week of April 7-11.

Teams of 3-5 students, graduate or undergraduate, compete in 3 competitions during the event: 

• The 25 Minute Competition, in which teams will present their chosen business problem, an analysis of the ethical, sustainable, legal and financial aspects of a problem, and a viable solution on all fronts.
• The 10 Minute Competition, in which teams will incorporate the suggestions from judges during the 25-minute presentation to give a 10-minute presentation expanding on the ethical aspect of the problem.
• The 90 Second Competition, in which teams will give an elevator pitch explaining the importance of the sustainability component of the problem.

The online divisions will compete on April 7 and 8. IBESCC staff will work with each team to find a presentation time, accommodating schedules in different time zones. The in-person competition will convene April 9-11 in Los Angeles on the LMU campus. The winners for all divisions will be announced on the evening of Friday, April 11 at the Awards Ceremony, which will be live-streamed.
