Kisho Kurokawa Green Institute

Kisho Kurokawa Green Institute

The Kisho Kurokawa Green Institute brings sustainable management into the wider study of business, strategy, and organizational decision-making.

 

Named for internationally renowned architect Dr. Kisho Kurokawa, whose work explored ecology, recycling, and the relationship between people, society, and the environment, the Institute reflects a similarly long-term view of how organizations operate and grow.

 

Through graduate programs ranging from certificate study to doctoral research, students examine how environmental and social considerations can be incorporated into business decisions alongside economic performance. The result is a practical, multidisciplinary approach to sustainable management for a changing global business environment.
