The London Business School (LBS) offers a world-class education focused on developing leaders with a positive global impact. It is truly diverse, with over 69 nationalities represented on campus, making for an enriching and unique environment. Outside the classroom, students participate in student-led treks around the world and attend inspiring events led by the active clubs on campus. LBS’ location is an invaluable asset, as London is at the forefront of activity in the social and environmental impact space. Students have access to leading impact investment funds, development institutions, foundations, and sustainability-focused corporations, presenting opportunities to build a meaningful network and gain valuable experiences.

The courses taught across both years of the LBS MBA develop students’ functional knowledge of key business tools and skills, with a specific focus on practical leadership skills and personal development in a global context. Students choose from a broad range of electives, including courses that focus on social entrepreneurship and sustainability. A number of faculty members are researching the role of business in socio-economic development. Professors Chandy and Ramdas collaborate with faculty at Columbia University to hold the Business Solutions to Poverty Consortium at LBS each year with leading academics and business leaders. Coursework is supplemented by a series of quarterly London Talks. Students learned from last year’s sustainability theme by discussing education in the developing world from John Wood of Room to Read and sustainability in investment management from David Blood of Generation Investment.

The London Business Experience aims to give students the opportunity to interact with leading organizations in London, including Clore Social Leadership Program and Fight for Peace, a nonprofit organization focused on reducing youth violence through martial arts. The Global Business Experience places students in one-week intensive company visits and consulting work in various parts of the world, including micro-entrepreneurship in South Africa. Another key pillar of the program is social innovation. Through the institute and the Deloitte Social Innovation Pioneers program, students have access to cutting- edge research and the opportunity to work with leading social enterprises.

Student activities are central to the MBA experience at LBS, catering to a broad range of professional, social, athletic, and recreational interests. The LBS Net Impact club engages students in prominent topics in the social and environmental impact space, connects students with broader networks, and provides resources and career support in the areas of impact investing, social enterprise, and corporate social responsibility. Each year, LBS Net Impact hosts a wide range of events, from panels on impact investing with representatives from London’s leading firms to talks with international development agencies, such as the International Rescue Committee and the Clinton Global Health Initiative. Students have the opportunity to work with start-up social enterprises in the health care field and hear from executives leading the charge on sustainability at companies like Whole Foods.

The Net Impact club hosts two hallmark conferences each year: The Corporate Sustainability Conference and the Global Social Venture Competition and Conference, which is part of a global competition featuring students across the globe launching the next generation of social enterprises. Members of the club also attend external conferences related to business and sustainability, such as Emerge at Oxford Said School of Business and Doing Good Doing Well at IESE. In addition, the impact- consulting club offers students the opportunity to consult on pro bono projects for local NGOs. The volunteer club offers students the opportunity to volunteer time to great causes within the LBS community and beyond, even leading a trip to Ghana to work with micro entrepreneurs.

Career Services works in partnership with the LBS Net Impact chapter to provide students with targeted professional opportunities. In an annual careers survey, 23% of LBS students surveyed were interested in impact careers, and 40% of students indicated they are exploring the possibility. 69% of students surveyed feel career resources available to them are sufficient in pursuing their chosen path, although students believe the school could improve in some areas.

LBS Net Impact works with the school to attract employers in social enterprise, impact investing, international development, and corporate sustainability on campus. This year, key on-campus recruiters included the CDC Group, On Purpose, Grow Movement, and the Clinton Global Health Initiative. Career services also employs a mentor in residence to support students interested in launching social enterprises. LBS Net Impact members also can access a growing alumni network, the Net Impact Professional chapter, and professional networking groups like CSR Meetup London and Finance Matters, which are excellent for students during the job search. With greater awareness of opportunities amongst students, staff, faculty, and alumni, new avenues of collaboration and support are emerging to support students pursuing careers in the impact space.
