ABOUT OIKOS ST. GALLEN

oikos St. Gallen is at the origin of many developments for positive impact at the University of St. Gallen. With its historic oikos Conference in 1987, oikos pioneered in opening the sustainability dialogue between experts at the University of St. Gallen. Ever since, it has been active in a wide array of business fields and academia, being involved in the foundation of other successful student associations and in that of the Institute for Economy and the Environment (IWÖ-HSG). oikos empowers changemakers to embed sustainability in academia and from there into day-to-day business, public and personal choices.

The association is driven by active, dedicated student-members who engage in self-led projects. The board forms the strategic and operational lead committed to development and realisation of the mission of oikos St. Gallen. It is supported and given strategic advice by a wide network of advisors, oikos alumni, partners, and its global oikos International community.

We transform business and economics - will you too?
