Calling all Change Agents and Leaders of the New Economy!
BGI's pioneering MBA and certificate programs prepare diverse leaders to build enterprises that are financially successful, socially responsible and environmentally sustainable.

while infusing sustainability—environmental and social responsibility—throughout every course.

Our faculty includes distinguished business school professors and business innovators from around the U.S. and Canada with a passion for sustainability.
Bainbridge Graduate
Institute (BGI), the first graduate school in the U.S. to offer
an MBA in Sustainable Business, announced Tuesday August 18, 2009 that they
were awarded an initial grant of accreditation through December 31, 2012 for
the MBA in Sustainable Business, Certificate in Sustainable Business and
Certificate in Sustainable Entrepreneurship and Intrapreneurship from the
Accrediting Council for Independent Colleges and Schools (ACICS).
President and co-founder,
Gifford Pinchot III, remarked “We are deeply grateful to all the students,
graduates, faculty and donors who had the courage to work for and study in and
support a small, unaccredited school with the ambitious goal of transforming
business in the direction of sustainability and social justice. Becoming
accredited is a big step in the evolution and the growth of the school.”
Bainbridge Graduate Institute (BGI) is pleased to announce social justice activist and founder of the Center for Ethical Leadership, Dr. Bill Grace and Nobel Laureate in Economics Dr. Joseph Stiglitz as speakers for its 2009 Commencement Ceremony on June 7th, 2009.
BGI’s MBA in Sustainable Business and Certificates in Sustainable Business and Sustainable Entrepreneurship and Intrapreneurship 2009 graduating class chose these two incredibly unique and inspiring individuals to be their speakers for the 2009 Commencement. Both have previously spoken at BGI and have deeply moved and inspired the students.
“As business responds to climate change, financial system distress and our societies growing concern with poverty, our students need to combine a strong moral compass with pragmatic leadership. Dr. Grace and Dr. Stiglitz are great examples of leaders that walk that line and can inspire all of us to do the same.” said Gifford Pinchot III President and Co-founder of BGI.
