Home > About Rotman > Sustainability and Social Impact

At the Rotman School, our goal is to transform business and society for the better. We hope you join us on this journey.

At Rotman, we are excited to be part of a world that keeps changing and accelerating. We have everything you would expect from a world-class business school – top-ranked faculty, ambitious students, a powerful alumni network – and something more: a willingness to challenge established thought and conventional narratives.

From gender inequality in the workplace to the cost of tax havens, our researchers push the boundaries of inquiry, and their insights travel from our campus to boardrooms around the globe. Supported by our highly regarded research institutes, centres and labs, we engage regularly with a large and influential community of stakeholders to explore the most pressing social and environmental challenges in management.

That spirit of intellectual adventure enlivens the Rotman student experience, with its focus on experiential and applied learning. Professionals at every career stage come here to get connected to the people, ideas and projects that are redefining organizations and the role they play in society. They develop a toolkit that allows them to see the dynamics of opportunity in environments that are in constant flux, and to make tough decisions and tougher trade-offs, all with one goal in mind: to transform business and society for the better.
