“I believe that the Beyond Grey Pinstripes program has been one of the most important information initiatives of the past decade for the emerging field of sustainable and socially responsible business.  It enables prospective MBA students from all over the world to identify and focus on those business schools that are most responsive to their needs and aspirations when it comes to fusing societal contribution with business competitiveness. It turns out that these prospective students also happen to be the highest possible calibre applicants on the market.”

“The Beyond Grey Pinstripes report has become the BusinessWeek ranking for forward-thinking prospective MBA applicants who understand that social and environmental responsibility in business are becoming as important as financial responsibility.  It is the one-stop view of global business schools who are leaders in integrating corporate responsibility into their management education programs.  We are an extremely rankings-driven society, and this ranking has catalyzed change in the business school world.”

“ I believe that Beyond Grey Pinstripes satisfies the criteria that rankings should cover: transparency, consistency, and independency. The professionalism and dedication of the Aspen Institute team deserves recognition here.”

“Whether it's called sustainability education or not, there is definitely a demand for the skills you get from courses based on sustainability concepts. The Beyond Grey Pinstripes report highlights those MBA programs and professors that prepare managers to think holistically, instead of thinking functionally.”

“When I first read “Beyond Grey Pinstripes” in the late 90's I was blown away…reading it was one of the factors that motivated me to attend b-school.”

“The Beyond Grey Pinstripes ranking is an invaluable resource for the increasing number of MBA students who place a high value on learning how to work with social and environmental issues in their business careers.  For current MBA students, the database of courses and syllabi provide a benchmark against which they can measure their curriculum. The work that we do at Net Impact on curriculum change is helped substantially by Beyond Grey Pinstripes.”
