Our Mission:
Educating tomorrow's leaders to balance economic success with environmental and social responsibility.
A simple quote helps define why we are here.
"There are some 80 million to 100 million enterprises worldwide, and of those enterprises a small but growing number are attempting to redefine their social and ethical responsibilities because they no longer accept the notion that the business of business is business. Because of our ability to communicate information widely and quickly, many companies are beginning to recognize their responsibility to the world around them. Their premise is simple: corporations, because they are the dominant institution of the planet, must squarely face and address the social and environmental problems that afflict humankind." - Paul Hawken & Bill McDonough
