Case Study: International Institute for Management Development advances sustainability performance with EcoVadis

How a European business school is advancing its sustainability performance with EcoVadis

The International Institute for Management Development (IMD), a European business school, faced an increasing number of requests from corporate clients for detailed information on its sustainability practices. To streamline this process and gain transparency, IMD turned to the sustainability ratings platform EcoVadis after receiving recommendations from several multinational partners.

By implementing the EcoVadis solution, IMD was provided with a structured framework to collect and organize its sustainability data. This led to the school achieving a Gold Medal rating from EcoVadis, placing it in the top 5% of all rated educational institutions. The partnership with EcoVadis acted as a catalyst for internal improvements, helping IMD institutionalize sustainability reporting, enhance its policies, and significantly strengthen its brand reputation.
