Please read the instructions and download the 2025 executive summary template below.
All executive summaries will be posted online for the judges to view. To maintain consistency, please use the template at the bottom of the page and do not make changes to the font type, font size, or spacing.
In your executive summary, you are asked to identify:
- Your team ID # (upper right-hand corner)
- The name of your company. Because teams will be judged anonymously, do NOT use a name that hints at your school or mascot
- The names and information of your team members and advisor (if applicable)
- Your topic title (please limit to 10 words or less)
- The audience whom the judges should imagine themselves to be (the company's board of directors, etc.)
- The number and complete title of the Sustainable Development Goal(s) affected. Choose no more than 2.
- To reference the complete title, go to the SDG Platform and hover over the goals. For example, SDG #1 "No Poverty" should read "SDG #1 - End poverty in all its forms everywhere."
- Please reference past executive summaries and the SDG Resources page for more information.
You should give a 1-2 paragraph summary of your argument that includes your recommendation. Your executive summary should be (1) one page.
Send your completed executive summary AS A WORD DOC (.docx) to ibes@lmu.edu.
Executive summaries that go over one page will be sent back to be rewritten.
