Being a B Corp
Let’s build a better tomorrow, together. Sustainability is serious business for us here at POLIMI GSoM, which is why we’re constantly working towards a better, fairer, more conscious, and more inclusive future.
We have been the first Business School in Europe to receive the B-Corp certification in 2020.
Our B-Corp Certificate means we went through B Impact Assessment and a process of qualification. This measures, manages, and improves a company’s positive impact performance for workers, communities, customers, suppliers, and the environment.
One of the main reasons we did this was because we completely understand the role that every company will play in building a better tomorrow for everyone. Every single business will need to rethink its purpose and raison d’être, putting front and centre the role that it wants to hold in society. And of course, this is even more relevant for us as a school, because we can directly inspire people from different companies to join forces with us on this journey.
And there’s even more. Since we’re a B-Corp Business School, we get the chance to partner with a powerful network of companies around the world – companies that really care about their impact on sustainability. B-Corp certified companies form an international community with the common goal of combining profit with collective well-being, while at the same time caring for the environment and society as a whole. Around 3,400 companies have been awarded this certification, and about one hundred of them are in Italy.
You can see how much we care about the creation of a better future with our yearly commitments called PLEDGES, which are from our Sustainability & Impact Plan. These work towards catalysing our efforts around 3 main areas.
