The programme: Innovation is part of its structure and methodology

The business world has already started to react proactively, reinventing the role of the private sector to provide solutions to the greatest challenges currently facing the planet and to contribute to the 2030 Agenda and the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This is what is known as the New Business Paradigm.

Sustainable Development Goals - Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible
17 goals to transform our world

In 2015, the United Nations adopted the 2030 Agenda on Sustainable Development, an opportunity for countries to embark on a new path in order to improve the lives of everyone on the planet, leaving no-one behind. The Agenda includes 17 Sustainable Development Goals, that range from the eradication of poverty to combating climate change, education, gender equality, protecting the environment and the urban design of our cities.

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are a call to action to all countries to eradicate poverty and protect the planet as well as ensure peace and prosperity.

The mission of EADA Business School, as a signatory to the UN Global Compact, is to create an impact not only in the personal and professional development of business leaders but also in the excellence of companies and organisations and their contribution to a fairer, more sustainable and solidarity-based society.
