The NYU Stern Center for Sustainable Business (CSB) marks its 10-year anniversary this year, celebrating a decade of building the business case for sustainability.
Since 2016, CSB has helped define how organizations translate sustainability into measurable business performance, and is now focused on equipping leaders to navigate what comes next.
“CSB has become globally recognized for its rigorous research, thought leadership, practitioner tools, and training in how sustainability drives effective management strategy and financial performance across industries, enabling corporate leaders to improve their impact and performance,” said Tensie Whelan, Founder of NYU Stern CSB and Distinguished Professor of Practice Emerita at NYU Stern.
According to Amy Skoczlas Cole, Director of NYU Stern CSB and Clinical Professor, who joined CSB in January 2026 to carry forward its extraordinary legacy and guide its next phase of growth, “As the global landscape rapidly shifts, CSB will demonstrate how sustainability helps organizations identify emerging risks and opportunities early enough to shape strategic action. Along the way, we are preparing future business leaders with the skills to navigate an increasingly dynamic operating environment.”
