Sustainability at Vlerick

Transforming people for a better world

Businesses can drive positive impact across society. And when they do, they create prosperity and lift the communities they serve.

And the spark that ignites this positive change? The leaders we shape and develop. We drive impact through the education we provide, the research we spearhead – and the environment we nurture.

We’re on a journey to further integrate our sustainability initiatives. To drive our DEI strategy and agenda. And to transform people for a better world.

CREATING IMPACT THROUGH EDUCATION

Sustainability is a golden thread woven through our programmes – and we’re investing in developing learning that specifically addresses sustainability challenges.

This allows Vlerick to be a springboard for professionals to keep taking leaps and making positive impact, with the knowledge, frameworks and contacts to be able to integrate sustainability into everything they do.

Their journey starts here in our learning environments – and it continues to ripple out wherever our alumni go.

CREATING IMPACT THROUGH RESEARCH

Our leading academics and research centres are actively pushing the boundaries of sustainability knowledge, both directly and indirectly.

And at the heart of all our research are topics that contribute to the sustainability agenda and practice. We know the world needs research that makes an impact – and we are committed to delivering it.

CREATING IMPACT IN OUR SCHOOL

We’re also exploring the many ways we can embed sustainability systematically throughout our school. From diversity, equity and inclusion, through to assessing and reducing our carbon emissions, we’re committed to improving and making positive change.

The journey we’re setting out on will help us to empower more people – and make a more positive impact. And through it, we’ll become an even more open and inspiring place for business.
