Panel Discussion 2026 - The Positive Impact Rating

Watch the panel discussion from the Positive Impact Rating Global Online Summit 2026, focused on how business schools can close the implementation gap and turn positive impact commitments into concrete institutional change. The discussion brings together perspectives from different business schools and regions, exploring the key challenges schools face when moving from intention to implementation. Speakers discuss how to engage students beyond a one-off survey, how to align student and faculty perspectives, how to embed sustainability into governance and curricula, and how to scale positive impact across large and complex institutions. The panel also shares concrete case study examples, including student-led sustainability and societal impact fellowships, faculty and student advisory structures, ESG graduate competencies, sustainability ambassadors, reporting and accreditation frameworks, and national sustainability labelling processes. Key themes include: student agency and co-creation, faculty-student alignment, ESG and sustainability integration, real-world learning, governance routines, cultural transformation, stakeholder engagement, and the use of PIR data as a change management tool.
