The Richard Ivey School of Business has been ranked 14th worldwide in the Beyond Grey Pinstripes 2005 Ranking, which profiles schools at the forefront of incorporating social and environmental issues into the fabric of their MBA programs.
In addition, Professor Tima Bansal was a runner up for Grey Pinstripes Faculty Pioneer Award for showing continuing commitment to develop and maintain initiatives and research in the area of corporate social responsibility and sustainable development.
"I am extremely pleased to see Ivey recognized as one of the top schools worldwide addressing issues of corporate social responsibility and sustainable value in our curriculum, student events, and research. These days, economic and social issues are becoming increasingly interconnected and business schools must ensure that students are coming away with that," said Ivey Dean Carol Stephenson. "It's key that students realize the importance of social issues when running a business," she said.
The Richard Ivey School of Business at The University of Western Ontario offers full-time undergraduate (HBA) and graduate degree programs (MBA and PhD), and Executive MBA programs in addition to non-degree programs in Entrepreneurship and Executive Development. Ivey has campuses in London (Ontario), Mississauga, Toronto, and Hong Kong, where it was the first North American business school to establish a campus in Asia.
