Anonymous A asked on May 11, 2022

Hi,

I recently did the McKinsey Case about a school in the US who wanted to become net carbon neutral by 2040 and was investigating measures, i.e. changing busses to electric busses. In the course of the case, you had to calculate the money saved etc.

Could someone provide me with it??

THANKS 

I want to be notified about updates regarding this question via email

Hello!

Was it form a McK Interview? In that case, it´s almost impossible that someone will pass it - unless you are looking for the notes of what someone remembers.

Cheers, 

Clara

Hi there,

Do you know what casebook it was in? Or is it a case McKinsey specifically provided?
