Business Education
Through our research and teaching, development of teaching resources, and events for business scholars, we help prepare the next generation of leaders to address human rights responsibly.
Since launching the first human rights center at a business school in 2013, we have established partners such as the Geneva Center for Business and Human Rights and co-founded a network of allies at other business schools who work with us on the integration of human rights into business school education.
