Executive

Multinational companies face significant and growing challenges to conduct business activities in more environmentally and socially sustainable ways. To lead these new initiatives, companies will look to their time-tested managers with a proven track record of delivering results. One challenge they will face is that many of these talented and capable corporate leaders have little or no background in the field of sustainable enterprise. The Erb Institute Corporate Affiliates Program seeks to bridge this divide by providing an intensive, world-class educational experience to managers who will be leading important sustainability initiatives on behalf of their companies.

Program Benefits

A primary benefit to Corporate Affiliates is the opportunity each year to send company managers to a pair of 2-day executive education workshops that will be taught by world-class faculty working on issues of sustainable enterprise. Each Affiliate will be able to send two managers to each of the two workshops annually. Sample course modules may include:
  • Business Strategies to Address Climate Change
  • Competitive Environmental Strategy
  • Strategies for Sustainable Development
  • Systems Thinking for Sustainable Development & Enterprise
  • Green Buildings and Development
  • Sustainable Manufacturing
  • Finance and Sustainable Enterprise
  • Building Effective NGO Alliances
Additional benefits include:
  • Access to a strong network of corporate practitioners with sustainability responsibilities
  • Access to future talent via Erb MBA/MS students focused on sustainable enterprise
  • Prominent recognition as an Erb Institute Corporate Affiliate on website and annual report

Membership Fee

  • $50,000 for 3 years
