We are aware of the responsibility that we as a business school have to build the next generation of leaders. Hence, ethical and sustainable business practices are at the heart of our teaching and research philosophy.

TOMORROW IS BEAUTIFUL

DEVELOPING ETHICAL LEADERS FOR THE COMMON GOOD

 

Milpark Business School (MBS) is a catalyst for ethical and sustainable business practices.

We produce the next generation of leaders who are committed to practising business for good, business with a conscience, business that empowers and uplifts others and business that creates a beautiful tomorrow.

The old truths suggest that to lead, leaders must have foresight, and they must lead by example; they must motivate and inspire on a moral basis, through aspiration as well as recognition and reward. It is precisely this calm, considered, and ethical leadership, required to lead and inspire large numbers of people that seems in short supply today… As a business school, we, our students and alumni will endeavour to be generators of sustainable value for business and society at large and to work for an inclusive and sustainable economy – for our country, our continent, and the world at large. Developing ethical leaders for the common good.

“At its essence, sustainability means ensuring prosperity and environmental protection without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs. A sustainable world is one where people can escape poverty and enjoy decent work without harming the earth’s essential ecosystems and resources; where people can stay healthy and get the food and water they need; where everyone can access clean energy that doesn’t contribute to climate change; where women and girls are afforded equal rights and equal opportunities.” - 8th UN Secretary-General Ban-Ki Moon 2007-2016
