Why MBA students should get serious about CSR

The role of CSR on MBA programmes is rapidly evolving as a result of the economic difficulties over the past five years. After the global recession at the end of the last decade, some, rightly or wrongly, placed blame at the doors of business schools for failing to ingrain the importance of CSR values on their alumni.

Further, protests around the world against the perceived greed fostered in some industries shows a global population becoming increasingly frustrated with a lack of consideration of CSR in business.

An MBA in CSR is the perfect specialization for those interested in working in sustainability roles, including in CSR departments and strategic functions of companies dedicated to improving stakeholder engagement and social/environmental footprint.

By choosing a specialized MBA program in sustainability, you’ll be able to explore business ideas from a different perspective. For example, the ‘triple bottom line,’ which deems a business successful not only by profit, but how it effects humanity and the planet.
