Babson College is a business school located in Wellesley, Massachusetts, with additional campuses in Boston and Miami. Founded in 1919, Babson is recognized internationally as the educator, convener, and thought leader for entrepreneurship of all kinds.
Babson's distinctive mission centers on preparing and empowering entrepreneurial leaders who create, grow, and steward sustainable economic and social value. The college integrates entrepreneurial thought and action throughout its curriculum, combining business education with liberal arts and sciences. A defining feature is the Socio-Ecological Systems curriculum component, which emphasizes how sustainability has become a primary driver for innovation, social justice, and business success.
The institution demonstrates commitment to responsible leadership through multiple channels. Babson uses the framework SEERS (social, environmental, and economic responsibility and sustainability) to define how entrepreneurial leaders approach business challenges. The college offers concentrations in Environmental Sustainability and Justice, Citizenship, and Social Responsibility, and operates the Institute for Social Innovation. Babson Greenworks embodies sustainability through community engagement, campus stewardship, and education innovation.
Babson's focus on developing leaders who balance economic opportunity with social and environmental responsibility aligns directly with GRLI's mission to advance responsible management education globally. The college's emphasis on entrepreneurial leadership that creates sustainable value makes it a relevant partner for organizations committed to developing the next generation of responsible business leaders.
