What If A Company’s Sustainability Challenges Became The Assignment?
For students at the American University of Beirut Olayan School of Business, IPT became more than a company to study. It became a live business case.
As part of the AUB OSB BUSS224 Practicum course, two student groups worked with IPT on applied projects focused on sustainability strategy, energy efficiency, and business-oriented recommendations.
Across six visits and 18 hours of engagement, students connected with IPT teams through department meetings, structured discussions, research, and Q&A sessions. They accessed real operational context and built recommendations grounded in how an energy group actually works.
One group mapped IPT’s sustainability landscape, covering ESG alignment, governance practices, partnerships, peer benchmarking, strengths, gaps, and improvement opportunities.
The second explored energy efficiency and carbon reduction opportunities at IPT stations, looking at energy consumption, lighting, equipment efficiency, EV integration, operational practices, and behavioral change.
For IPT, this is the kind of academic collaboration that matters: practical, demanding, and connected to the future of the energy sector.
It gives students exposure to real sustainability decisions. It gives faculty a living case for applied business learning. It gives IPT fresh perspectives from the next generation of leaders.
To universities and faculty exploring ESG, energy transition, sustainability practicum, or experiential learning, IPT welcomes the conversation.
