Our purpose

is to train and support professionals, from their entry into the labour market until they achieve professional growth and maturity, towards a sustainable leadership, which in addition to enhancing their professional competencies and abilities, bases their values and practices on human sustainability, society, the environment, the economy, ethics and equal opportunities.

In 2017, we firmly committed to pioneering the creation of 100% sustainability-oriented programmes in the business world, academic research and partnerships.  

Since then, we have created knowledge and transferred sustainability research with a real impact into the majority of our training programmes and activities with the aim of generating a multiplier effect in our Community and the business environment.

Purpose
Next

Sustainability as the central axis of EADA’s mission is based on:

Responsability

we are one of the first European business schools to offer specific postgraduate training in sustainability.

Multiplier effect

to date, we have trained over 300 professionals in sustainability who will create a greater positive impact in their organisations.

Resources

we invest effort, time and resources in being a strong entity for research, dissemination and participation in initiatives that promote sustainable business.

Facilitation

we are committed to organisations that decide to embark on the responsible and ethical path based on purpose.

Impact

for organisations that start to reflect, analyse and promote change, and within their scope of activity act responsibly and perform an active role in sustainability and for the common good.

Work in progress

EADA’s work is ongoing as we continue to adapt our programmes and ad-hoc training programmes to sustainability and sustainable leadership, promoting further research and study in this area, and entering into new agreements and partnerships. We have not achieved everything yet but we are definitely on our way!
