CBS Sustainability Plan (Autumn 2024 v2.0)

Copenhagen Business School's Sustainability Plan (Autumn 2024 v2.0) outlines the institution's comprehensive approach to integrating sustainability and green transition across its operations, research, and education. Developed by CBS's Green Office and endorsed by senior leadership, the plan builds on the school's first sustainability strategy from 2016 and reinforces CBS's commitment to its "We Transform Society with Business" strategy.

The plan establishes four key focus areas: Green Research, Green Education and Students, Green Campus, and Green Practice. It introduces a Green Dashboard for transparent annual monitoring of sustainability indicators and emphasizes knowledge-sharing across departments and strategic initiatives. Specific initiatives include developing research networks, expanding sustainability-focused curricula, improving campus energy efficiency (currently 91% renewable), and enhancing communication of sustainability efforts to students and staff.

Governance is coordinated through a CBS Sustainability Advisory Team of faculty, department heads, students, and professional staff, with annual consultation cycles. The document reflects CBS's commitment to responsible management education principles, including its participation in the UN Global Compact's PRME initiative, positioning sustainability as integral to developing globally responsible business leaders.
