MSM's Full-time MBA Achieves AA Status in CEO Magazine’s 2026 Green MBA Index

05-08-2026

As part of Maastricht University School of Business and Economics (SBE), the MSM Full-time MBA has been awarded an AA rating in the CEO Magazine 2026 Green MBA Index.

SBE's Executive MBA also received an AA rating, positioning SBE as the highest-ranked business school in the Netherlands in this year's index and demonstrating the university's strong commitment to embedding sustainability throughout its MBA education.

The CEO Magazine Green MBA Index is an independent, evidence-based assessment that evaluates how deeply sustainability is integrated into MBA programmes. Rather than focusing on institutional claims, the index measures demonstrated performance across five key dimensions: curriculum integration, experiential learning, research and thought leadership, institutional environment, and graduate pathways.

A Strong Commitment to Sustainable Leadership

Receiving an AA rating reflects the strength of our approach to responsible management education. Sustainability is embedded throughout the MSM Full-time MBA, preparing participants to address complex business challenges while creating long-term value for organisations and society.

This recognition reinforces SBE's commitment to educating leaders who combine academic excellence with responsible decision-making and a global perspective.

Sustainability at the Heart of MBA Education

The Green MBA Index distinguishes programmes where sustainability is a defining element of the educational experience rather than a standalone topic. By assessing tangible evidence across teaching, research, institutional strategy, and graduate outcomes, the index provides prospective students with an objective benchmark for evaluating MBA programmes.

This recognition further strengthens Maastricht University’s position as a leading provider of responsible and future-focused business education. The MSM Full-time MBA continues to equip professionals with the knowledge, leadership skills, and sustainability mindset needed to thrive in an increasingly complex global business environment.
