Sustainability

""

We are facing a global, social and environmental emergency and at Saïd Business School we believe that business and business education has a leading role to play in delivering a sustainable economic future. As a business school renowned for tackling global systemic challenges, we understand the complexity of the crisis and the need for a multi-disciplinary approach to seeking solutions, both internally and externally. 

The hurdles we must overcome

  • Reconciling economic growth with its environmental and social impact 
  • The lack of common understanding and agreement about the systemic change needed for collective action
  • The long-term, existential and global scale of the problem

 

The journey ahead

We are committed to equipping current and future business leaders with the tools and understanding required to build a strong, regenerative and just economic system. We aim to inspire our community by leading by example in our own sustainable operations.

Our role in creating a sustainable world does not end in the classroom. It is crucial for us to show we are what we teach.
