A New Chapter for Sustainability Education in India!
We are pleased to announce that MET Institute of Management, Mumbai, and Cero Hero, Finland have signed an Memorandum of Understanding to establish the MET Cero Lab and launch Cero Id. MET is the first institution in India to implement this initiative. Cero Hero is a climate tech startup headquartered in Espoo, Finland.
Just as academic transcripts record educational achievements, Cero Id is designed to help students build a verified record of sustainability and climate-positive actions throughout their university journey.
The MET Cero Lab will offer students opportunities to engage in sustainability projects, climate innovation challenges, community initiatives, circular economy programs, and environmental leadership activities. These verified actions will be recorded in their Cero Id, building a measurable sustainability portfolio alongside academic credentials.
At a time when employers, institutions, and society are increasingly seeking responsible and purpose-driven leaders, Cero ID aims to make sustainability action visible, credible, and recognized.
It is heartening that MET Institute of Management is the first in India to adopt the CERO ID and CERO Lab framework, demonstrating its commitment to preparing future leaders who actively practice sustainability.
We sincerely thank Mr. Saiteja Annareddy, Founder & CEO, Cero Hero, for his vision, trust, and commitment to developing the next generation of climate-conscious graduates.
We also extend our heartfelt thanks to Team Finland India and Business Finland for their ongoing support and commitment to fostering innovation, sustainability, and collaboration between Finland and India.
This represents more than a partnership. It marks the beginning of a movement to make sustainability an integral part of every student’s identity.
