Ray C. Anderson Center for Sustainable Business

Anderson Center for Sustainable Business aims to accelerate the development and adoption of sustainable business practices through educational programs, high-impact research, and industry engagement. The Center supports and draws upon the research and instruction of faculty dedicated to sustainability integration and sustainability-focused innovation in three areas:

1) Business Value, Innovatio

n, and Competitive Advantage – Strategies in this area promote long-term economic, environmental and social value.

2) Operations, Supply Chain Management, and the Circular Economy – Sustainable operations strategies reduce risk and create value by capitalizing across entire value chains and creating new business and collaboration models.

3) Human Rights, Ethics, and Transparency – Strategies in this area support responsible decision-making, reporting, and addressing social welfare locally and globally. Educational programs serve current and future managers, entrepreneurs, executives, and community leaders. Students gain knowledge, experience and a global understanding of issues and opportunities at the intersection of business and sustainability. The Center also functions as a network hub for students, faculty, alumni, and practitioners. We catalyze new discoveries, ideas and collaborations by enabling connections on the Georgia Tech campus, in Atlanta, regionally, and even globally. In doing so, we help businesses and business leaders have a positive effect on the communities they touch.
