BGA | BUSINESS IMPACT
How is your Business School making a positive impact on the economy/economies in which it operates? The participants in the educational activities of Antwerp Management School (AMS), as well as our business partners, are actively engaged in one of the central components of our mission: sustainable transformation. We aim to develop a mindset and a business model where sustainability becomes a clear strategic advantage to all stakeholders. In this way, we make an immediate and substantial long-term impact on companies and organisations, as well as on the professional careers of individual participants. At a School level, we set up a Dean’s Club meeting with all the CEOs of our partnering organisations two times per year. During these meetings, the focus is on society and we discuss and demonstrate collective leadership in progressing our shared sustainability agenda.

With more than 220,000 enrolled in Business Schools in France in 2021, business students provide billions of dollars to the national economy each year through student spending on fees, housing, products, and services that support businesses and employment both on and off campus.
