Corvinus University of Budapest is taking a significant step towards enhancing its commitment to sustainability by participating in the international Positive Impact Rating (PIR) survey. This initiative, launched in 2020, aims to evaluate how business and economics higher education institutions contribute to social and environmental sustainability. Unlike traditional rankings, PIR focuses on development areas rather than competition, encouraging cooperation and shared learning among institutions.
What is the Positive Impact Rating (PIR) Survey?
The PIR survey is a global initiative that assesses the sustainability efforts of higher education institutions. It does not create a competitive league table but instead presents institutions in alphabetical order within performance levels. This approach fosters a collaborative environment where institutions can learn from each other and work together to improve their sustainability practices. The survey collects feedback from both students and faculty, focusing on how sustainability and social responsibility are integrated into teaching, institutional operations, and everyday university culture.
