In December 2022, Enactus University of the Fraser Valley successfully launched its Fraser Valley AgroConnect project, a free web-based interactive platform that aims to support local farmers in three areas: resource and information gathering, business management, and labor recruitment. Fraser Valley AgroConnect is a free to access online website where farmers can find information on various government resources including grants and other benefits and resources that can help with their business operation and management. Plans to expand the website include youth employment opportunities, equipment rentals and sales, and seasonal produce postings.

UFV's School of Business (the School) is a member of PRME - Principles for Responsible Management Education. The United Nations-supported platform is aimed at raising the sustainability profile of Business and Management Schools. Being part of the PRME initiative shows how the School plays an active role in the integration of the SDGs through its programs, curriculum, and initiatives.
Collaborating with the Office of Sustainability as part of March for Sustainability, the School organized the SDGs LAB, an all-day seminar and interactive workshop focused on the SDGs. With over 100 participants, the event provided a platform for diverse stakeholders to deepen their understanding of the SDGs. The dedication of the School to sustainability is further evident in its biennial Sharing Information on Progress report for the PRME initiative, which highlights its sustainability goals and activities aligned with the principles for responsible management education and the SDGs.
