Sustainability at SBS Swiss Business School
As members of the SBS community, we emphasise an informed and critical approach to environmental health, recognising its intricate connections to culture, political economy, gender, and power dynamics. SBS Swiss Business School is committed to implementing policies and practices that value diverse cultural and gender perspectives within our campus environment. Furthermore, we advocate for the integration of sustainability-focused curricula through dynamic and interdisciplinary methods to enhance students' capacity to address significant environmental challenges comprehensively.
SBS Swiss Business School advances sustainability through research, education, outreach, and global collaboration. Recognising its universal relevance, the school models engagement with diverse stakeholders on its multicultural campus. Sustainability is central in today's dynamic world, and business education must address it by supporting UN sustainability goals.
We encourage the entire SBS community to engage in programs and projects that develop interdisciplinary collaboration as well as strive to “green” the campus and its surrounding neighbourhood.
Each year, SBS Swiss Business School organises a Project Week, during which faculty are encouraged to address sustainability topics relevant to their courses.
