Since its inception MVS/ESBI has served as a hub for students, faculty and practitioners to explore and learn about the role of business as a force for good. We believe that businesses have a role to play in addressing the polycrisis and grand societal challenges of the 21st century.
We have an active research agenda and also offer courses on sustainable business at both graduate and undergraduate level.
As a founding member of , our students-lead B Impact teams had helped local businesses to understand and explore this certification for businesses that have the highest social and environmental standards. You can learn more about B Corps in .
We are organizationally agnostic when it comes to addressing societal and environmental challenges, so we have also research and work with nonprofits organizations interested in exploring or launching social enterprises.
