POLIMI Graduate School of Management joins AssoBenefit

We are proud to announce that POLIMI Graduate School of Management has officially joined AssoBenefit, the first representative association of Benefit Corporations in Italy. This step further strengthens our commitment to a sustainable, fair, and inclusive development model, in line with our mission to educate conscious and responsible leaders.

Becoming a member of AssoBenefit means actively contributing to the dissemination of the Benefit culture, sharing values, experiences, and best practices with a network of organisations that, like us, believe in an economy capable of generating shared value. It also means playing a leading role in a global shift that is redefining the role of business in society, placing the common good at the centre.

In 2020, we became the first Business School in Europe to be certified as a B Corp, a recognition achieved through the rigorous Impact Assessment process, which evaluates positive impact on workers, customers, suppliers, communities, and the environment. We are also a Benefit Corporation, which drives us every day to integrate sustainability and positive impact goals into our business model and educational offering.

“Our membership in AssoBenefit reflects our commitment to a sustainable future, aligned with an economic paradigm shift that promotes sustainability, responsibility, and transparency. We are proud to be part of a network that, like us, believes that transformative business must operate with care for all stakeholders, contributing to the common good. Contributing to this ecosystem of innovation and positive change aligns with our goal of educating and training responsible leaders, capable of driving the transition towards a fairer and more inclusive economy.”

• Enrico Bellazzecca, Associate Dean for Sustainability & Impact at POLIMI GSoM

We are also excited to announce that in autumn 2025 we will launch a new mini-series within our podcast “Innovators’ Talks”, entirely dedicated to exploring the world of Benefit Corporations. It will be an opportunity to delve into key topics, hear from the voices of change-makers, and inspire new generations of more conscious and responsible professionals.

With this new milestone, we continue to build a School that looks to the future with courage, vision, and responsibility.
