Playing the part in Sustainable Business

Fast-paced, competitive global markets mean business and public leaders need to understand international trends, contemporary issues and remain flexible to stay ahead.

The global financial crisis demonstrated the need for well trained, ethical and responsible business and public leaders who not only understand what is happening but also can inspire confidence in business and markets.

Furthermore, climate change, global warming and widespread environmental degradation indicate the importance of paying attention to issues which relate to our planet as well as profit.

Considered one of Australia’s leading business educators, Griffith Business School is accredited with the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) International and is committed to high quality business and public sector education and research with a special focus on:

• Sustainable business development and responsible leadership.
• International Business
• Public policy and public sector management
• Asian studies
• Sustainable tourism
• Sport, Event and Real Estate management

 
A Globally Responsible Approach to Business:

Planet earth has reached the tipping point. We have to change the way we do business, we no longer have a choice. Griffith teaches business practices that balance profits with people and the planet. We call it our ‘triple bottom line’ and it makes sense.

In an era where companies are regularly ‘named and shamed’ for environmental or human rights abuses, companies are recognising that sustainable business practices can help them rise above the competition and stay there.

Today’s business leaders need to balance the needs of business, communities and the environment. Some people label this movement ‘social corporate responsibility’, we prefer to call it common sense, and we invite activists and economists alike to get onboard.

Griffith Business School is an active partner in the Globally Responsible Leadership Initiative, a signatory to the UN Principles for Responsible Management Education and the UN Global Compact, and a founding member of the Asia-Pacific Academy of Business in Society. These engagements demonstrate the School’s strong commitment to sustainable enterprise development and corporate responsibility.
