The aim of the ERSC is to drive forward the ethics, responsibility and sustainability activity at the Business School through operations, curriculum, research and accreditation.

We adopt the UN definition of sustainability as the impact of present actions on the options available in the future, with major areas of focus the conservation for the environment for future generations, ensuring social justice, maintaining economic activity, and promoting sustainability values at the organisational level.

Embedding and integrating sustainability in our research, learning, teaching and operations is one of the five values of the University of Edinburgh Business School. Encouraging sustainable thinking is essential to our mission of developing conscientious leaders with an awareness of the impact of business on social as well as climate injustice globally. We work closely with the University's Social Responsibility and Sustainability Department (SRS) to ensure we align with and feed to the wider University strategy.
