The Advantere’s Sustainability and Social Impact Report 2022-2024 by Advantere School of Management is now available! This comprehensive report reflects our ongoing commitment to integrating sustainable practices into every part of our school, from academic programs to campus operations and community engagement.

Director’s Message on the Sustainability and Social Impact Report

After two years of Advantere School of Management, our Sustainability and Social Impact Director, Consuelo Benito, presents the sustainability and social impact report.

“This report embodies our dedication to integrating sustainable practices into every area of our school, from academic programs to social impact.”

Navigating the complexities of the 21st century has made it clear that sustainable development is essential. Advantere has always aimed to shape future business leaders who are conscious of their responsibilities to the environment and society. This report is not just a reflection of past achievements. It also serves as a roadmap for our future goals.

Key Initiatives in the Sustainability and Social Impact Report

The report highlights several initiatives that showcase our dedication to sustainability:

1. Curriculum Integration

We have expanded our curriculum to include courses on sustainability, ethics, and social responsibility. A mandatory “Business and Sustainability” course ensures students gain the skills required to address global challenges.

2. Research and Innovation

Our faculty and students engage in research on sustainable business practices, renewable energy, and environmental management. This research offers both academic insights and practical solutions for real-world problems.

3. Community Engagement

We collaborate with local communities, businesses, and organizations to promote sustainability beyond our campus. These partnerships provide students with opportunities to apply their learning in meaningful ways.

4. Campus Operations

We reduce our environmental footprint through energy-efficient buildings, waste reduction, and sustainable transportation, using our campus as a living lab for testing sustainable practices.

Focus on Sustainable Development Goals

Advantere School of Management aligns its impact activities with 6 of the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). These include quality education, reducing inequalities, promoting peace and strong institutions, economic growth, climate action, and global partnerships. By integrating these goals, we aim to foster innovation and create lasting positive change.

The Three Axes of Impact

Our impact strategy operates through three key axes:

1. Impact for the Advantere Community

We emphasize fostering personal and professional growth among students and employees. Activities, workshops, and training programs create a supportive environment that promotes academic development and well-being.

2. Impact for the Business Ecosystem

Students collaborate with organizations on projects that prioritize social impact and sustainability. This approach allows them to gain real-world experience while helping businesses adopt sustainable practices.

  • Sustainability and Social Impact Projects: Every student participates in at least one social impact project in partnership with NGOs and social change organizations.
  • Project-Based Learning: Students work directly with businesses to solve real-life problems, ensuring every project contributes to positive social and environmental outcomes.
  • Capstone Projects: These involve research and data analysis, culminating in solutions grounded in evidence. In 2022/23, 21 out of 38 master’s projects focused on sustainability and social impact.
  • Purpose to Impact: This executive program offers professionals a transformative journey, where they tackle social and global challenges. Starting in Madrid and culminating at Georgetown University, participants explore leadership with experts, engage in impactful projects, and develop solutions for real-world issues.

3. Impact for Society

This axis highlights our role in making a positive impact on the broader environment. We achieve this through CSR initiatives, volunteering, and partnerships with nonprofits. These efforts aim to enhance community welfare and promote environmental stewardship.
