Through B Academy, B Lab Switzerland supports universities and higher education institu- tions in integrating applied sustainability into their curricula. Our goal is to bridge academic learning and real-world business challenges, equipping students with practical tools to help build a more sustainable economy. In 2025, we continued to pursue multiple academic collaborations: • E4S (EPFL, IMD, HEC Lausanne) and HES-SO: Semester-long courses combining applied sustainability education, sharing the best practices of the B Corp movement, and hands-on projects carried out with companies for our B ecosystem. • ZHAW: Collaborations through the Startup Campus, focusing on the integration of sustai- nability integration for startups and the System Change Lab on real systemic challenges linked to a transition towards a regenerative economy. • HSG-CAS Leading Sustainable Business Innovation: Sessions on integrating sustainable change, from strategy to operational implementation, supported by practical tools and case studies. • Interventions – HEC Lausanne et IMSG : Regular contributions to the Bachelor’s and Master’s courses at HEC Lausanne and IMSG, focusing on applied sustainability and its integration into business practices.
