Ideas for a world to change

Ideas for a world to change

The world needs new ideas: novel approaches to how we do business, and leaders who know how to make change happen. IESE is generating new ideas on a broad range of fronts:

·Research. More than a dozen research centers, chairs and initiatives in areas including business in society, corporate governance, work and family, and women in leadership, along with a newly created Sustainable Leadership Initiative.

·Teaching. An array of courses in sustainability, entrepreneurship, impact investing, ESG and the circular economy, as well as an MBA concentration in Sustainability and Responsible Business and short focused programs such as our Sustainability & ESG Program.

·Spreading the word. Events, conferences and meetings dedicated to sustainability-related issues for business leaders and others, such as our Global Alumni Reunion.

IESE is also a member of the United Nations Global Compact and a signatory of the Principles for Responsible Management Education (PRME).

Programs

All IESE’s programs are built on a general management perspective and a commitment to ethical leadership.

Going forward: Goals for 2025

We are doubling down on our efforts to be as sustainable as possible. With this goal in mind, we have developed an Environmental Sustainability Plan covering the period 2021–2035.

Since 2020, we have also been calculating our indirect emissions (Scope 3), which allows us to chart a roadmap toward our goal of net zero emissions by 2050.

This plan, using 2010 as the baseline year, sets out five key targets for 2025, along with additional goals to be achieved by 2035:
