Sustainability at MIT Sloan

Research & Practice

Today's business models have generated unforeseen levels of economic growth and technological innovation, but these developments have come at a cost, creating severe strains on our environment, social systems, and personal lives. What can be done about these problems, and how can we reconcile the virtues of free-market capitalism with the need for more sustainable business practices?

The MIT Sloan faculty members are dedicated to research, collaboration, outreach, and practice that lead to enable people, communities, businesses, organizations, and the planet to flourish while taking an in-depth, integrated look at existing structural models; and to redefine the notion of sustainability by incorporating social equity, economic development, and environmental restoration at all levels.
