Dear Colleagues,
As we delve into our B-school’s responsibility report, we embark on a journey of reflection and celebration. Our commitment to sustainability and social impact has never been stronger,
and it’s with great pride that we share our progress with you today.
Using the Haub Business School dashboard, we’ve organized our impact assessment, ensuring transparency and clarity in our endeavors across the spectrum of Teaching, Research,
Dialogues, Partnerships, and Organizational Practices. And I am happy to report that our efforts shine brightly.
Let’s start with Teaching, where we’ve refreshed our coursework in the Postgraduate taught components to deepen focus on Ethical Decision Making, Social Consciousness, Responsible
Thinking, and Embedding Sustainability concepts. This has resulted in 85% of the courses integrated with these concepts & practices. In our doctoral programs too we are Promoting
Ethical Reflections, and Encouraging Responsible Authorship and Publication Practices. Our signature Social Internship Program has expanded to forging impactful partnerships with 25
Social Sector Organizations for 836 projects completed. This year we are making an additional commitment to measure impact for each individual project. The energy that our students
have invested into this experiential program gives us tremendous hope for instilling a lifelong service mindset in our students.
In Research, we’ve witnessed high growth, with 144 activities (from earlier reported 85) spanning diverse themes - From Environment and Sustainability to Corporate Social Responsibility,
Innovation Management, and Gender Empowerment, our faculty and scholars are at the forefront of driving meaningful change. But it’s not just about the work within our walls. Through
our commitment to foster meaningful dialogues, we’ve doubled our engagement to 65 sessions globally, bringing together renowned researchers from around the world to inspire and
challenge our thinking. These include renowned thought leaders such as - Prof. Taya Cohen, Tepper School of Business (Carnegie Mellon University, USA); Prof. Victoria Clarke (University
of the West of England, UK); Dr. Stefano Puntoni (Wharton Business School, University of Pennsylvania, USA); Prof Vijay Pereira (Neoma Business School, France); with 5000+ participants
engaged through these talks.
Our Organizational Practices have also seen significant strides, earning us accolades like the Gold Band in Mental Health and Wellness Rankings and receiving the Inclusive Campus of
India status by the Handicap International - Humanity & Inclusion. Mindfully managing our campus footprint through the waste management, recycling and energy efficiency initiatives is
a further testament to our commitment to not only nurturing talent but also creating a supportive and inclusive work environment. Partnerships, too, have flourished during this year, with
21 alliances formed with organizations like PRME, IDEA, CommonTime, and SETU. Together, we’re stronger, united in our pursuit of a better world.
And finally, the numbers speak for themselves. Our commitment to UN SDGs has led to an increase from 150 to 248 activities, underscoring our dedication to making a meaningful impact,
especially in UN SDG #4 (quality education), #5 (gender equality), #8 (decent work and economic growth) and #9 (industry, innovation and infrastructure).
So as we navigate through this report, we celebrate our achievements, but also recognize that our work is far from done. As a community we will continue to push boundaries, challenge
norms, and strive for a more sustainable and socially responsible future.
Thank you for your unwavering dedication and support.
