Sustainable Business Club, Net Impact at Baruch College
The Sustainable Business Club, Baruch’s Net Impact Chapter (SBC) is the student organization dedicated to issues such as corporate social responsibility, social entrepreneurship, green marketing, socially responsible investing, and renewable energy.
The SBC’s mission is to empower a diverse community of leaders who use business to make a positive social, environmental, and economic impact on the world.
The SBC is entering our fourth year as a Net Impact chapter and has been growing rapidly since inception – reflecting the increased interest in sustainability among students, faculty, Zicklin administration, and the broader community. Each year our goals include cultivating leaders who understand the importance of sustainability, debunking the myth that money and mission are mutually exclusive pursuits, and supplementing classroom learning with discussions, speakers, trips, and networking events that create a more holistic MBA experience and prepare students for business in the 21st century.
The SBC promotes networking with other like-minded MBA students and sends cohorts to the Net Impact conference and other social enterprise events throughout the country. Taking advantage of our New York City location, the SBC also values and facilitates direct collaboration with other local Net Impact chapters. We work together to organize green job fairs, attend each other’s events, and meet for city-wide happy hours and luncheons.
Led by a talented team of executive officers, for the 2011-2012 academic year the SBC is focused on green jobs and internship recruiting, advancing campus greening, advocating for more sustainability courses in the Zicklin curriculum, and building awareness of the dynamic Baruch Net Impact chapter!
