 BGI offers both an MBA in Sustainable Business and Certificates in Sustainable Business and Entrepreneurship & Intrapreneurship. In both programs, students work with distinguished faculty from top business schools to master proven sustainability practices. Our cutting-edge curriculum trains entrepreneurs and managers to create dynamic, successful enterprises that build a better world.
More than ever before, major companies and entrepreneurial ventures are securing competitive advantage and success by embracing sustainability—environmental and social responsibility—as a core business strategy. The “green economy” now represents more than $230 billion annually in sales of socially and environmentally responsible products, and $2.2 trillion in responsible investments.
Farsighted companies and today’s social and environmental leaders recognize that this new way of doing business requires new skills in business management. MBA programs everywhere have also begun to recognize the importance of sustainability in business, but too often they are slow and ill-prepared to make the necessary curriculum changes.
 In contrast, BGI’s flexible, independent programs allow our curriculum to keep pace with the rapidly evolving needs of the sustainable business market. Where other MBA programs offer only one or two elective courses in sustainability, BGI infuses sustainability into every course from Day One. Rather than learning to view sustainability as a peripheral distraction, our graduates learn how to succeed by integrating sustainability into all aspects of their organizations.
BGI is pioneering a new form of business education—where ethical frameworks for management are based on scholarly research, case studies, and published articles on environmentally and socially responsible business methods and practice.
Note About Diversity
We are committed to racial and cultural diversity in student body, staff, faculty and board.
Our students, and the society they will serve and lead, require the very best education this institution can provide. Among the educational resources the Institute has to offer is a diverse student body. Students educate each other, in the classroom and in many informal settings: they challenge one another’s assumptions, they broaden one another’s range of experience, and they teach one another to see the world from varied perspectives. Although the Institute should and does seek diversity of many kinds, racial and cultural diversity must be part of the mix. We cannot otherwise teach our students all that they need to know about the diverse society and the multinational economy in which they will be leading their lives.
