 Impact, value, purpose 

 

At EADA, we are firmly committed to a business world that creates value and looks after the wellbeing of its stakeholders and society.

 

Our purpose is to train and support managers and future business leaders, from their entry into the labour market until they achieve professional growth and maturity, towards a sustainable and responsible leadership, which in addition to enhancing their professional competencies and abilities, bases their values and practices on human sustainability, society, the environment, the economy, ethics and equal opportunities.

We strongly believe in the multiplier effect and the impact that current and future business leaders can create in society through this type of leadership, in both existing profit-driven companies and future purpose-driven organisations.

What are purpose-driven companies and organisations?

Organizaciones-proposito-medioambientalPurpose-driven companies and organisations follow a strategy which goes beyond owner and shareholder profits and looks after the wellbeing and development of other relevant stakeholder groups such as the community it operates in, its employees and the environment.

A company's purpose states the values the business is seeking to create and for whom, offering its employees, stakeholders and shareholders a clearer definition of its objectives and expectations.

Individual and collective purpose

Landing Purpose - Imagen ODS (3)For a purpose to be properly developed, all of the stakeholder groups must be involved. At EADA, we use our own model of Sustainable Leadership which builds a purpose based on work by the individual to improve the alignment between the individual purpose and the company's strategy.


This model enables people to learn about and better understand themselves, identifying the purpose that most represents them, and from there move towards new styles and ways of relating to stakeholder groups to achieve their purpose.

Manifesto to legally recognize purpose-driven companies

Logo-BCorp-1According to the Manifesto to legally acknowledge purpose-driven companies, recently presented by Fundación B Lab Spain, one of the driving forces behind the #BCorp movement in Spain, there is an urgent need to create a legal entity, "Sociedades de Beneficio e Interés Común (SBIC)" (Companies for Common Benefit and Interest), which officially recognizes the companies that achieve the highest standards in terms of society, environment, transparency and good corporate governance.

As its founders explain, "there is a need to promote a new business model, which already exists in other countries, whereby private resources are used to create a positive impact in society to guarantee transparency and good governance as well as compliance with sustainability standards."

Currently more than 50 organisations, including EADA, have signed the manifesto created by the global BCorp organisation for a law to promote purpose-driven companies. Click here for more information >>

 

 Towards sustainable leadership 

 

Preparing our business leaders through sustainable and responsible leadership.

EADA's business road map over the next few years is focused on enhancing our mission towards a more sustainable and responsible leadership, thereby reaffirming our commitment to promoting new leadership among our participants (individuals), our Alumni (community), corporations and companies (collectives) and whose values and practices are based on human sustainability, society, the environment, the economy, ethics and equal opportunities.

At EADA, we understand this idea of new leadership as an evolution in the demands of society on the business world which leads to a change in the way that people and organisations operate to become leader in their sector and maintain their position. Generating economic growth is no longer enough; social responsibility, ethical conduct and leadership practices are also key.

Our work as a business school involves preparing professionals and organisations to achieve the highest social, economic or environmental standards, and guarantee that they understand, get involved and promote this environment, enabling them to meet their obligations with all the different stakeholders. Leadership which combines social, environmental as well as economic responsibility.

 

Jordi-Diaz-Quote

 

“We are immersed in an irreversible paradigm shift in which companies, organisations and their representatives must become aware of their professional responsibility to establish a set of sustainable and responsible strategies and practices. Leaders capable of joining the change for the common good"

Jordi Díaz, Dean of EADA Business School

Axes for a sustainable leadership 

The sustainable leadership model at EADA is based on 8 axes, 4 related to people and 4 to impact:

  • Cognitive complexity: Which concepts, models and theories can we apply to make sense of a world which seems fragile, nonlinear and often incomprehensible?
  • Develop relationships: What is our capacity to build connections, complicity, collaborations and partnerships with stakeholder groups?
  • Mobilise diversity: understanding the complexity of opportunities requires the coordination of different perspectives and interests and mobilising them to achieve the purpose.
  • Manage complexity: Discovering the link between cause and effect in the new millennium requires reimagining and understanding the world from a new perspective.
  • Generate transparency: In all projects the ability to create solutions and approaches that decode complexity and facilitate engagement is a critical asset.
  • Create value through innovation and sustainability: the solutions to social needs require the inclusion of these dimensions.
  • Create better jobs with more motivated employees.
  • Governance and responsible management: Respond to the needs of the different stakeholder groups through responsibility and transparency.
