At the beginning of January, the Kyiv-Mohyla Business School became an official participant of the UN Global Compact.

As a business community where Ukrainian leaders grow, we have been promoting the Sustainable Development Goals for many years, as we recognize the importance of developing a sense of responsibility among managers.

The School's programs are built with the concept of responsible leadership in mind, which is implemented through the development of systematic and strategic thinking among owners and top managers of Ukrainian businesses. During their studies, participants realize that their business does not exist in a vacuum and begin to consider a broader context in their company's development strategy.

This is also facilitated by the humanitarian component of the MBA programs. During meetings with outstanding thinkers of today, managers undergo personal transformation. This allows them to look at familiar things differently and find new meanings in their activities. By the way, it is during these meetings that most of our graduates' philanthropic initiatives, which kmbs sincerely supports, are born.

At the end of last year, we also became an educational partner of the Young SDG Innovators program, within which young Ukrainian leaders will create projects for their own companies, taking into account the Sustainable Development Goals. kmbs graduates, in turn, responded to be mentors for young innovators.

The School's systematic work in this direction is not accidental. The business school, in the context of a broader system, has a great responsibility and at the same time an ambitious goal — to promote sustainable business development and shape modern Ukrainian leaders through quality education.

By joining the UN Global Compact, we have enlisted the support of the international community, gained the opportunity to participate in partners' projects and initiatives, and access to a database of practical knowledge that will help integrate sustainable development principles into the activities of Ukrainian companies.
