"We are thrilled with this recognition.

Developing leaders for a sustainable future
The RSM Full-time MBA is an intensive 12-month programme designed for professionals who are ready to accelerate their careers and make a meaningful, positive impact. The programme focuses on fostering a global perspective, an entrepreneurial mindset and a deep understanding of sustainable leadership.
“Our students come to RSM with a clear desire to lead in a more responsible way,” said Dr Jochem Kroezen, academic director of the Full-time MBA. “This programme gives them the critical skills and knowledge to challenge conventional thinking and build a more sustainable future, and it is wonderful to see this validated by Corporate Knights.”
The Corporate Knights ranking focuses on how business schools integrate sustainability into the curriculum and the careers graduates pursue.
The 2025/2026 ranking recognised RSM's strong performance in these areas, noting the high proportion of the curriculum that is sustainability-focused and that many recent graduates are now 'Impact Alumni', working in non-profits, sustainability-focused roles, or at companies dedicated to social and environmental solutions.
