Sustainability and Responsible Management

When it comes to sustainability, the Nordic countries get it right. It is lived and breathed throughout the culture and implemented through sustainable business practices. Companies know that innovation and solutions are the best way to prosper, so team building and creative approaches to problems are paramount. Careers here are as fulfilling as they are engaging.

Sustainability is so important for business development and survival that it's crucial for the next generation of leaders to understand. From the very start of the programme, you will dive right in, and as your MBA journey progresses, you will develop a highly relevant and 360 degree skillset.

In Denmark, responsible management is pursued as a core strategy from the board level down, flat organisational structures and equality in male and female leadership fosters company culture built on trust and respect, and public policies support sustainability initiatives from startups to mature organisations.

The emphasis on sustainable, responsible and ethical business practices taught in the Copenhagen MBA attracts candidates who want to discuss and develop their capacity in these areas. You will find yourself surrounded by other up-and-coming leaders who share a common desire to do business in this way.

The diversity of the class ensures that while Scandinavian approaches to doing business are infused into the programme, they act as a starting point for students to generate healthy dialogue and debate. This creates a global understanding of how different ideas and best practices can be relevantly tailored to various industries or countries.
