Sustainability
Our purpose to develop leaders who ‘challenge what is and inspire what could be’ is increasingly relevant. Together with our stakeholders, we believe that we have the power to create a lasting and meaningful difference in society and on the climate.
This past year was especially important in IMD’s sustainability journey, as we made significant strides in deepening our commitment through our teaching, research, outreach, and in our campus operations.
We significantly increased our MBA program’s focus on threats and opportunities associated with sustainability, and have made it a core component of many of our custom and open executive education programs. To further advance our impact, we also deepened our partnerships with the World Business Council for Sustainable Development, Business Schools for Climate Leadership, and Enterprise for Society.
Through 2022 we broadened access to executive education as we continued to invest in technology enabling participants to join our award-winning programs regardless of ability to travel, while also reducing the related carbon footprint. Our research on sustainability now has a strong foundation with the development of the Center for Sustainable and Inclusive Business. We have also taken important strides in measuring and reducing our carbon footprint to ensure we walk the talk.
