About The Club

Mission: Raise Awareness - Connect - Educate

The Responsible Business Club's primary, three-part mission is to foster greater awareness and commitment from all members of the School community to ethical business practice and to the conducting of business in a socially and environmentally responsible way. The Club invites influential and inspirational guest speakers to campus and holds a 'Responsible Careers Conference' each Spring.

The Club also acts as a forum to bring together those students intending to found or join social/environmental enterprises (either for profit or not-for-profit) and additionally works with School faculty and programme administration on curriculum change.
