Our Commitment

Harvard Business School (HBS) is committed to Harvard’s Sustainability and Climate Action Plan, which includes achieving a fossil fuel-free future. HBS Sustainability endeavors to build a healthier, more sustainable, and inclusive community. We are committed to internalizing justice and equity in our sustainability work.

HBS strives to be a leader in sustainability and has set school-specific sustainability goals and practices in our HBS Sustainability Framework. Inspired by the 2014 Harvard Sustainability Plan, the HBS Sustainability Framework’s core topics are: emissions & energy, campus operations, nature & ecosystems, health & wellbeing, and culture & learning. HBS engages across the community to make progress within each topic area, with support from Operations, student leadership (Student Sustainability Associates Program), faculty and research (Business & Environment Initiative), employee engagement (Green Team and Green Office Program), and Executive Education outreach.
