Copenhagen Business School's MBA is capped at 50 students, triple-accredited, and built on one idea: sustainability is a business strategy, not an add-on. Pola Lem talks with Andreas Rasche, Professor of Sustainability and Associate Dean of the MBA, about how CBS weaves ESG and resilience into every core course, not just electives, and why 70% of participants arrive with no sustainability background at all. They dig into how partnerships with Maersk, Novo Nordisk, and Carlsberg shape real coursework, the "Leadership Discovery" journey that ends with a night in the Swedish wilderness, and what a 50-person "boutique MBA" delivers that a 300-person cohort can't. Rasche also gives an honest, data-grounded answer on whether ESG fluency actually commands a salary premium. Essential listening for applicants weighing a sustainability-minded MBA, and for anyone questioning whether responsible management is a real differentiator.Covering all that matters in Business Education: https://poetsandquants.com/
