Center for Sustainable Business | NYU Stern CSB celebrates 10-year anniversary and a decade building the business case for sustainability

CSB has become globally recognized for its rigorous research, thought leadership, practitioner tools, and training in how sustainability drives effective management strategy and financial performance across industries, enabling corporate leaders to improve their impact and performance

Tensie Whelan, founder of NYU Stern CSB and Distinguished Professor of Practice Emerita at NYU Stern, reflects on the past decade.

When we provide irrefutable proof of the benefit of sustainability, the tools for firms to integrate it themselves, and the know-how to overcome the barriers to integration – we unlock the transformative potential of the private sector to align operations with sustainability. As the global landscape rapidly shifts, CSB will demonstrate how sustainability helps organizations identify emerging risks and opportunities early enough to shape strategic action. Along the way, we are preparing future business leaders with the skills to navigate an increasingly dynamic operating environment.

Amy Skoczlas Cole, Director of NYU Stern CSB, looks forward to the next era.
