The initiative\u2019s continued growth demonstrates the increasing importance students place on the role of business schools in promoting sustainability, social responsibility and positive social change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Positive Impact Rating is unique in that it is an assessment conducted by students for students, analysing how schools contribute to creating a positive impact through four key dimensions:&nbsp;<strong>Energizing<\/strong>,&nbsp;<strong>Educating<\/strong>,&nbsp;<strong>Engaging<\/strong>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<strong>Enabling<\/strong>. These areas are used to assess aspects related to institutional culture, governance models, sustainability-oriented management systems, and the results achieved across various dimensions of social and environmental impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After achieving this status for the first time in 2023, ISEG has once again been recognised as a Transformative School, reflecting the School\u2019s ongoing commitment to an education focused on global challenges and to training leaders capable of promoting positive change in organisations and communities.<br><br>\u201cAt ISEG, we build the future together with our students. The results place ISEG at Level 4 of the PIR, out of a total of five possible levels, confirming our solid track record while also clearly identifying the areas where we need to invest more effort,\u201d says&nbsp;<strong>Winnie Picoto<\/strong>, Vice-Dean of ISEG, with responsibility for Sustainability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Organised by the&nbsp;<strong>Positive Impact Rating Association (PIRA)<\/strong>, a non-profit organisation dedicated to transforming management education, PIR seeks to foster a new generation of business schools committed to sustainable development, the common good and creating lasting positive impact.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"ISEG \u2013 Lisbon School of Economics &amp; Management has once again been recognized as a Transformative
