BGA Business School Impact Award

The BGA Business School Impact Award 2025 is open to BGA member, validated, and accredited schools which can demonstrate their impact on all stakeholders, alongside BGA’s vision and Charter.

This award is an excellent way to celebrate and reflect on the positive impact that your business school is exerting on students and graduates, your communities and the economy as a whole.

By validating how positive impact, continuous improvement and responsible management have enhanced the stakeholder experience, business schools will have the opportunity to showcase how they are contributing to the betterment of society using both quantitative and qualitative analysis of activities, initiatives and/or programmes.
