<strong>Panel</strong> Descriptions<br />

the different challenges and opportunities that it presents. This panel will examine various career<br />

paths available for students and professionals who want to work for sustainable companies. Moreover,<br />

how can this inspire career change and promote growth? We will also focus on how to differentiate greenwashing<br />

The approach to Social responsibility within business <strong>School</strong>s<br />

<strong>Business</strong> schools have been criticized for their role in creating a tribe of money hungry and irresponsible<br />

individuals with little regard for Social Responsibility (SR). These feelings have echoed throughout the media,<br />

especially after the financial crisis. <strong>Business</strong> schools have reacted by implementing Hippocratic oaths<br />

for MBAs, employing more ethics driven courses and investing in PR to show involvement of their students<br />

in various not for profit causes. Are business schools doing enough to ensure that their students internalize<br />

concepts of social responsibility? Is the availability and frequency of ethical classes something that companies<br />

consider before recruiting in MBA programs? Are SR and profitability complementary or mutually<br />

exclusive? Join us in a lively discussion to determine whether business schools should focus more on educating<br />

their students on SR for the benefit of society at large, or whether the media is being too idealistic in<br />

trying to find a home for SR within business schools.<br />
