JOIN A MOVEMENT OF BUSINESS PROFESSIONALS FOR A BETTER WORLD

We are confronting many pressing challenges today in desperate need of solutions: from climate change, to social and economic inequality, to issues of health and well-being.

We believe that the world needs a new generation of business professionals who carry with them a sense of responsibility to use their skills and energies to forge a new and better world. We call this Business with Purpose, and we’ve made it part of the DNA of business education at IE Business School.

How do you define your purpose?
How do you challenge yourself?
What types of activities give you a sense of meaning?
How aligned is your current career or career plan with your unique sense of purpose?
How might you use your business skills to make a difference in some way that you care about?

In your educational journey at IE Business School, we will help you explore these questions and develop your own unique answers.
