“Hard to disagree with the UNSDGs, easy to communicate about them, but surprisingly difficult to move the needle. The Hoffmann Global Institute for Business and Society can help us develop and disseminate solid knowledge to accelerate the difficult transition to a more sustainable world.”

Championing business sustainability at INSEAD

Andre Calmon, Assistant Professor of Technology and Operations Management & Patrick and Valentine Firmenich Fellow for Business Sustainability

Our latest MBA class comprises students of 92 nationalities from all corners of the world. One thing is clear: INSEAD’s values of diversity and equity are unrivaled. This commitment is what broadens minds, transforms experiences and makes us unique as The Business School for the World. But protecting this magic takes work.

Giving to Scholarships at INSEAD is the surest way to transform a life and safeguard the legacy of excellence we have built up, together, over 60 years. We are steadfast in our belief that INSEAD remains accessible to the best and brightest minds, regardless of financial background. A scholarship could mean the difference between a future changemaker accepting a place at INSEAD or having to withdraw an application altogether.
