The Sustainability Business School is focused totally on sustainability and a responsible management education as demonstrated by the following facts:

• The curricula are embedded with sustainability-related concepts and corporate social responsibility matters. The programs of study offered are:

  1. BBA – Bachelor of Business Administration in Sustainability Management

  4. Sustainability Training for professionals and practitioners.

• The curricula are based on three areas of competency: Professional Development for Sustainability, Entrepreneurship in Sustainable Organizations, and General Education.

• SUMAS is a participant of the UN Global Compact and supports the ten principles with respect to human rights, labor, environment, and anti-corruption.

• SUMAS is committed to participate in local Swiss networks and engage in partnership projects with corporations and inter-governmental organizations.

• SUMAS is also engaged with concerns about diversity, health, and well-being of its employees.

• The school is committed to develop initiatives that enable students, faculty, and staff to contribute to sustainable practices. For example, classes are paperless. There is a public bicycle rental system, and the catering service is offered by an enterprise that is socially committed and promotes environmental issues.

• All students, faculty, and staff are signing a joint declaration of intent in commitment to sustainable practices in their daily routine.

• There will be an annual report on our progress in regard to the sustainability practices, which will be followed by a review.
