Read more about the B Academy Programme
Academic institutions play a crucial role in sha- ping tomorrow’s leaders and preparing students for the realities they will face in the workplace. That’s why B Lab Switzerland has developed B Academy , a programme that teaches im- pact measurement methods, inclusive business pathways and supports research at universities and higher education institutions. B Academy provides students with hands-on learning opportunities and best practices in sustainability, and connects academics with the business community to explore the role of the private sector in building a resilient and sustai- nable economy. Through classroom activities, lectures and consultancy projects, students gain the tools, case studies and skills needed to address real-world business challenges and contribute to a more sustainable future. Education is the cornerstone of transformative change; by empowering minds, we empower so- cieties to evolve on a global scale.
The programme includes:
•
Class intervention from one to three days on impact measurement and improvement Lecture on sustainability, from 8 to 14 weeks Consulting projects between students and companies in the B Ecosystem Presentations by founders and sustain- ability managers of certified companies
