Indian Institute of Management, Lucknow (Noida Campus)

Programme Overview

The Post Graduate Programme in Sustainable Management (PGPSM) at IIM Lucknow is built on the idea that businesses are part of society. The programme trains future managers to look at economic, social, and environmental issues together.

The curriculum includes general management courses. It also offers specialised courses in systems thinking, social entrepreneurship, externalities, lifecycle management, stakeholder management, and public policy.

Why Sustainable Management Matters

Surveys by media houses such as Forbes and Fortune show that businesses must adopt sustainability to survive in the future. Companies cannot separate themselves from society and the environment. An unstable social or environmental system raises the cost of doing business.

The programme teaches students to turn negative environmental and social impacts into opportunities for improvement. It helps future managers understand how sustainability challenges keep changing and how to build integrated solutions.
