Sustainability
We are facing a global, social and environmental emergency and at Saïd Business School we believe that business and business education has a leading role to play in delivering a sustainable economic future. As a business school renowned for tackling global systemic challenges, we understand the complexity of the crisis and the need for a multi-disciplinary approach to seeking solutions, both internally and externally.
The hurdles we must overcome
- Reconciling economic growth with its environmental and social impact
- The lack of common understanding and agreement about the systemic change needed for collective action
- The long-term, existential and global scale of the problem
The journey ahead
Embedded within the heart of the University of Oxford, our School is uniquely placed to generate cutting-edge sustainability research, and to leverage world-leading research from our University partners such as the Smith School of Enterprise and the Environment and Oxford Net Zero.
We are committed to equipping current and future business leaders with the tools and understanding required to build a strong, regenerative and just economic system. We aim to inspire our community by leading by example in our own sustainable operations.

Our role in creating a sustainable world does not end in the classroom. It is crucial for us to show we are what we teach.
By fostering collaboration, innovation, and knowledge exchange, we can address the climate crisis and create a more sustainable and equitable world for all.
