| Bainbridge Graduate Institute (BGI) is the winner of the Bavaria Award for Innovation, an award that honors achievements that have the potential to create lasting change.
Ceres and Trillium Asset Management Corporation announced the inaugural winners of the Joan Bavaria Awards for Building Sustainability into the Capital Markets. The two winners, Bainbridge Graduate Institute and Enhanced Analytics Initiative (EAI), were announced at the Ceres annual conference in Boston.
The awards recognize investors, companies, and non-profit groups that have contributed specific achievements in spurring the capital markets to move from a system focused on short-term profits to one that also integrates longer-term social and environmental factors into investment decision-making. The innovation award for BGI honors achievements that have the potential to create lasting change.
“BGI’s innovative approach has proven to be a model for changing the way business schools around the country incorporate sustainability into their programs,” said Gifford Pinchot, BGI’s president and founder. “As faculty return to their home institutions from our monthly residential immersion program, they bring with them a new understanding of how global business can be transformed in the direction of the good, thus prompting more and more requests for BGI’s help in designing sustainable MBA programs elsewhere.”
