When we talk about entrepreneurship for young people, it’s important to connect innovation with responsibility. The world they are inheriting faces environmental and social challenges unlike any generation before them. That’s why teaching sustainability alongside business is no longer optional—it’s essential.

At RANT Academy, sustainability is embedded across every course. We don’t just ask kids to invent products; we challenge them to ask: “How does this help people or the planet?” This mindset doesn’t restrict creativity—it expands it.

A sustainable startup encourages students to think about long-term impact. Is the product recyclable? Does the service reduce waste? Can it support their community? These aren’t abstract ideas—they’re opportunities to innovate. One student created a digital app that teaches recycling to younger kids. Another launched a handmade jewellery line using upcycled materials. These small ideas spark big confidence.

Parents and educators play a huge role here. Ask young learners about their environmental values. Let them research local issues they care about—climate change, food waste, water pollution—and then help them develop ideas that make a difference.

The business world is already shifting. Brands are judged by their ethics, their supply chains, and their carbon footprint. Today’s children are tomorrow’s founders, leaders, and voters. The earlier they learn that business can be a force for good, the more likely they are to build companies—and lives—that matter.

Sustainable entrepreneurship isn’t just the future of business; it’s the future of leadership, and it starts with what we teach our kids today.
