MIT Sloan believes that sustainability takes root only when economic, social and environmental practices all align to help us flourish indefinitely on a planet with finite resources.
Our Initiative is not simply about solving existing problems. We innovate to create opportunities for greater long-term economic, social, and environmental benefit. We do this by capitalizing on MIT's core assets, by linking sustainability to science, technology, process improvement, organizational learning, entrepreneurship, social change, and finance.
A Distinctive Offering
MIT Sloan is the only business school offering both a top-tier management education and the option to layer on in-depth knowledge about sustainable business practices. The sustainability certificate gives our full-time masters students the knowledge, skills, and tools they need to transform business and society.
Members of our sustainability community can engage broadly or deeply with our initiative. Many students, for example, get their first introduction to sustainability in core management classes such as operations or entrepreneurship; many then become more engaged in our community by attending speaker events, joining sustainability-related clubs, or pursuing a Sustainability Certificate.
