Sustainability is one of the main axes of EADA Business School, forming part of its values, research, training and dissemination activities that are created and promoted by the institution. Because the economic, social and environmental challenges of today show the need to redefine the current social and productive model, in addition to financial profit.
Responsible leadership
We firmly believe in RESPONSIBLE LEADERSHIP in and from business organisations. Our duty as an educational institution is to help business leaders, through their actions and decisions, to promote the protection of the environment, improve the well-being of all their stakeholders and encourage the same actions from their teams and organisation. YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
Real impact
We generate knowledge and transfer sustainability research to training programmes and activities that create a real impact in the EADA Community and wider society. In 2017, we decided to pioneer research, partnerships, transfer and programmes with a 100% focus on sustainability in the business world.
We provide support to business leaders as they implement sustainability in their organisations.
Work in progress
Our work continues as we 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 continue to MOVE FORWARD.

Tracks and training itineraries in sustainability
An important part of our training programmes includes different specialisations that promote sustainability and its importance in the business world.
Ad-hoc corporate training in sustainability
We design custom training programmes so that companies that are aware, ready or have decided to move towards change, can transform their work model to one that is more sustainable in the areas of environment, society and finance to create a more positive impact. We also organise complementary activities such as conferences, meetings and material on relevant topics including circular economy, diversity and inclusion, sustainable marketing and leadership for sustainable transformation.
Training programmes in sustainability for our International Partners
We provide training in sustainability and innovation for our international partners.
We support professionals on their journey towards change
In our training programmes and methodology, we advocate sustainable leadership, which is based not only on improving the professional competencies and skills of our participants but also by promoting and incorporating values and practices related to human sustainability, society, the environment, the economy, ethics and equal opportunities into their professional development.
The creation of our specific training and research projects is made possible by our academic team. EADA has a team of faculty and research experts in sustainability who carry out research projects and develop materials to be transferred onto the EADA programmes. We also regularly invite guest professors and professionals from the field to impart sustainable leadership in all the EADA programmes.
