IESE Future Leaders in Sustainability Award
Sustainability, and thus the long-term well-being of individuals, organizations and society at large are at the core of IESE’s mission. Sustainability for IESE involves the full arc of business activity, from how companies treat the world around them, to how they treat each employee. Sustainable values are ingrained in IESE’s mission of educating and inspiring business leaders who want to have a positive and lasting impact on people, business and society. Are you an aspiring MBA student with a passion for sustainability and responsible business practices? We invite you to apply for our Future Leaders in Sustainability Award 2025. Awardees will get complimentary access to IESE’s flagship conference, Doing Good Doing Well (DGDW), at our Barcelona campus on March 11 & 12 2025 and a chance to further their knowledge on sustainability and responsible business.

This year's edition of DGDW with the theme, "The Last Sprint: Roadmap to 2030" will examine our progress on the different international goals such as the Sustainable Development Goals and the Paris agreement and chart the course towards our sustainability goals across these critical areas - ⁠Industry Transformation & Leadership, Innovation for Environment and Biodiversity, Sustainable Finance & Impact Investing, ⁠Social Impact & Community.
