peopleplanetprofit.jpg Anaheim University's leading edge online MBA in Sustainable Management, nicknamed "The Green MBA", focuses on three main areas - namely People, Planet and Profit. The goal of the MBA in Sustainable Management is to provide students with the knowledge and skills to allow their companies to be accountable for their financial bottom line (Profit), as well as the environment (Planet) and the community (People).

"We have reached a time in history where corporations must take a serious look at the impact they are having on the environment and take action to reverse the damage that is being caused by industry," stated Dr. William Hartley, President of Anaheim University. "Corporate Social Responsibility [CSR] goes beyond accurate record keeping, reporting and transparency. CSR departments should begin preparing themselves to become accountable for not only their own company's well being, but also the well being of the community around them and the global environment. The new MBA in Sustainable Management is a program that will help CSR division employees obtain the latest knowledge required to stay on top of environmental issues. Not only the CSR division employees will benefit from this MBA program, but all managers in the organization will benefit since these issues impact all facets of the organization's operation and must be addressed in an organizational wide effort."

Anaheim University launched the Green MBA program through the Anaheim University Kisho Kurokawa Green Institute on January 31st, 2008 targeting students from various backgrounds ranging from public servants and CSR personnel to marketing professionals who realize the need to stay up to date with the latest trends. The institute was conceived by and named in honor of the late eco-minded architect Kisho Kurokawa, who was a strong supporter and founding Executive Advisory Board member of Anaheim University.
