Corporate Knights magazine is published quarterly and focuses on climate change, responsible investing, and “the ideas, actions and innovations that shape a sustainable economy.” It has a circulation of 126,000 and is distributed in The Globe and Mail, The Washington Post and The Wall Street Journal.

Think sustainability in everything you do as a business person

This marks the seventh consecutive year that the Grossman School’s Sustainable Innovation MBA (SI-MBA) has been in the top 10 of the Better World rankings, returning to the top spot domestically after being ranked #1 in the United States in 2019. The accelerated one-year program focuses on teaching graduates how to manage and transform businesses by “embedding sustainability in their operations,” according to a news release. Conventional MBA programs typically require two years to complete.
