The second edition of the Positive Impact Rating 2021 results was released at the World Economic Forum in Lucerne-Burgenstock, Switzerland. The Positive Impact Rating 2021 captured the voice of students to define the positive impact of B-schools. XLRI has reached the topmost level 5 (Pioneering Business Schools) among the top 47 global Business Schools in Positive Impact Rating 2021.

Students provided an incredible wealth of constructive comments on how their schools can increase their positive impact. Students are very clear in what they want their schools to stop doing: 1. Teaching outdated theories and models of economics and business; 2. Using single-use plastics on campus; 3. Employing staff with no knowledge, experience, or passion in sustainability; 4. Unsustainable food and catering services on campus; 5. Practices that continue to create waste; 6. Offering degrees without mandatory sustainability courses.

There is also a consensus on what they want their schools to start doing: 1. Putting sustainability at the core of teaching economics and business; 2. Providing practical sustainability competencies; 3. Engaging with NPOs for courses, projects, and career options; 4. Creating social impact initiatives with local and global communities; 5. Empowering and supporting students to act for sustainability; 6. Educating all B-school staff in sustainability topics.
