As an institution, the Stanford Graduate School of Business believes that business schools have a responsibility to teach students to be innovative, principled, and insightful leaders who can change the world. As such, the Center represents a cornerstone of the School’s multidisciplinary approach to management and leadership education.

We invest our resources in an integrated set of activities that are designed to enhance the leadership and management capacity of individuals who strive to create social and environmental value. The Center leverages Stanford’s knowledge, expertise, and networks, bringing community leaders together with our faculty, students, and alumni to address social problems on several fronts.
