In the school's own words...

As an educational institution, our mission at INSEAD is to promote a non-dogmatic learning environment that brings together people, cultures and ideas from around the world, changing lives, and helping transform organisations through management education. Through teaching, we develop responsible, thoughtful leaders and entrepreneurs who create value for their organisations and their communities. Through research, we expand the frontiers of academic thought and influence business practice.



An essential aspect of transcultural leadership, social and environmental issues are integrated throughout the core courses and electives in the MBA program. In addition, students have an opportunity to take courses from our social impact course portfolio that focus specifically on social and environmental issues. This includes field trips to developing countries to study entrepreneurship, social entrepreneurship and hands-on projects in development.



INSEAD also supports student extracurricular activities. INDEVOR, INSEAD’s chapter of Net Impact, and the INSEAD Energy Club are the largest and most active clubs on campus. In 2008, INSEAD was co-host of the first Net Impact Europe Conference, sending 40 students to Geneva for the event. We view extracurricular activities as a great way to connect students with leaders from global businesses and NGOs for learning and career opportunities.



The main hub for driving school-wide initiatives and supporting MBA students is the INSEAD Social Innovation Centre. Founded in 2007, the INSEAD Social Innovation Centre is an inclusive platform for cross-disciplinary research and engagement in the area of social innovation. The Centre brings together a diverse group of leading INSEAD research teams focused on the innovation of business models and market-based mechanisms that deliver sustainable economic, environmental and social prosperity. This research is disseminated in our educational programs and forms a basis for collaboration with students, alumni, companies, NGOs and other organizations, establishing an open community through which we can have a real impact.
