We are committed to being a forward-thinking, responsible institution that champions sustainability and inclusivity. By nurturing conscious “change-maker managers,” we aim to empower students to become transformative leaders who will shape a more sustainable, equitable future across global industries.
The "Time to Act" Sustainable Impact Plan is based on three key pillars:
Pillar 1: Time to Accomplish (Education)
We are transforming our academic approach by integrating sustainability principles across programs and research, directly aligned with the UN's 17 Sustainable Development Goals. Our targeted training empowers students and employees with critical insights into Corporate Social Responsibility, environmental stewardship, and Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, preparing conscious professionals to drive global change.
Integrating sustainability in all its dimensions – environmental, social, and societal – is fundamental to our educational mission, empowering both learners and employees with comprehensive sustainability insights.
Strategic targets by 2027:
100% of programs will incorporate Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), Environmental stewardship, and DEI (Diversity, Equity and Inclusion).
100% Employment of Sustainability Certifications (TASK)
25% of research activities aligned with UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
Developing Unique Skills
The Sustainability-focused certifications like TASK will assess sustainable development knowledge, rolling out across EU Business School group from 2025.
Focus areas:
Enhance alumni employment rates within 12 months of graduation
Develop targeted training programs and specialized events
Create opportunities for community service and volunteer work
Research Commitment
We are establishing a dedicated Research Center with the following priorities:
Conducting sustainability-focused research
Developing impact-driven projects and innovation incubators
PRME Commitment
As a signatory member of PRME (Principles for Responsible Management Education) since 2008, EU Business School has been committed to supporting universal values of sustainability, responsibility and ethics throughout the institution and its partnerships. Annual Sharing Information on Progress (SIP) reports highlight achievements in teaching, research and thought leadership that support United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

Sustainability Objectives by 2027
We are committed to comprehensive decarbonization, with a strategic goal of achieving Net Zero emissions by 2050. As part of the OMNES Group, we’re taking part in a transition plan targeting a 2% annual reduction in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.

Key environmental targets:
100% zero plastic policy across all campuses
Consistent 2% annual reduction of GHG emissions
