Joining forces to tackle climate change

Business schools offer a toolkit to help the leaders of today and tomorrow work towards a sustainable future

February 2022

Eight leading business schools have joined forces to help shape climate leadership and are collaborating to help business leaders actively address the climate emergency.

Business Schools for Climate Leadership (BS4CL) is a unique alliance of business academic thought leaders, made up of the following founding members: Cambridge Judge Business School, HEC Paris, IE Business School, IESE Business School, INSEAD, International Institute for Management Development, Oxford Saïd Business School and London Business School. Collectively, these schools train more than 55,000 students and executives a year and are stewards of alumni bodies totalling more than 400,000 people.

As a first step, the business schools have collaborated on a toolkit designed to equip present and future leaders with the skills and actions needed to achieve decarbonization.
