JOIN A MOVEMENT OF BUSINESS PROFESSIONALS FOR A BETTER WORLD

Professionals for a Better Word | IE Business School

We are confronting many pressing challenges today in desperate need of solutions: from climate change, to social and economic inequality, to issues of health and well-being.

We believe that the world needs a new generation of business professionals who carry with them a sense of responsibility to use their skills and energies to forge a new and better world. We call this Business with Purpose, and we’ve made it part of the DNA of business education at IE Business School.

  • How do you define your purpose?
  • How do you challenge yourself?
  • What types of activities give you a sense of meaning?
  • How aligned is your current career or career plan with your unique sense of purpose?
