The Impact Report: Stories From the Front Lines of Business & Sustainability Innovation

The Impact Report is the first podcast of its kind bringing together students, alumni and faculty in Bard College’s MBA in Sustainability Program with leaders in business, sustainability, and social entrepreneurship. The Impact Report features conversations with sustainability leaders from around the world, from the C-suite in New York City to social enterprises in rural Africa.

The Impact Report podcast emerged from the Sustainable Business Fridays podcast hosted by the Bard MBA in Sustainability program. Sustainable Business Fridays was first launched in 2013 as a live dial-in conversation series where Bard MBA students engaged with sustainability leaders around their work. In 2016, Sustainable Business Fridays moved the podcast format and has seen tremendous growth in the eighteen months since the launching of the podcast. The Bard MBA program is rebranding Sustainable Business Fridays as The Impact Report in February 2018.

The Impact Report partners with GreenBiz to publish excerpts of each podcast on The Sustainable MBA.
