Our Centrum PUCP business school has made it to the Top 10 of the Corporate Knights 2022 edition, an annual ranking of the most sustainable MBAs in the world, organized by the Better World MBA. With this achievement, Centrum PUCP is for the first time among the top 40 MBA programs worldwide, and demonstrates its commitment to instilling sustainability and values to build a more inclusive economy for the benefit of society.
The Corporate Knights Ranking evaluates 160 business schools worldwide with the most sustainable MBA programs and rates them on the following metrics: sustainability integration, sustainable research publications, faculty gender diversity, faculty ethnic diversity, among others.
This achievement is the result of the restructuring work and changes in the focus and purpose of Centrum PUCP. "In order to achieve a substantial change, it is necessary to make articulated, massive and urgent decisions that go beyond isolated and eventual actions. From Centrum PUCP we are committed to generate concrete actions and maximize our positive impact on society, seeking strategic alliances that allow us, with actions, to implement sustainable practices focused on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and promoting the development of society," says Percy Marquina, general director of Centrum PUCP.

The business school is committed to promoting the topics of social responsibility, gender equity, sustainability, positive business and business ethics throughout the MBA program. In this way, it trains leaders with a social vision and concern for the positive impact of their businesses.
"We want to train leaders for good business, which are those who seek to expand their conception of success beyond financial returns and, with the same impetus, positive social impact. Therefore, our MBA was redesigned a few years ago in order to address this global need that includes the development of competencies, such as responsible entrepreneurial behavior that - together with the capacity for sustainable innovation - allows our students to learn to create business models that generate positive impact on society," says Sandro Sanchez, director of MBA programs at Centrum PUCP.
Sánchez also emphasizes that the recognition achieved in the Better World MBA Ranking 2022 confirms that Centrum PUCP is on the right track to ensure that our business leaders close the social gaps at national and global level.
