About the methodology

The 2021 Corporate Knights Better World MBA top-40 ranking examined the performances of 147 business schools, drawn from the most recent Financial Times list of the top-100 global MBA programs; the schools that made the 2019 Corporate Knights Better World top-40 roster; and business schools accredited by AMBA, AACSB or EQUIS and also signatories to the United Nations Principles for Responsible Management Education that opt in for evaluation. Based on publicly disclosed information on their websites, schools are evaluated on seven metrics and then given the opportunity to review and request revisions to the analysis. The performance indicators (with weighting in brackets) are: core course integration of sustainability (30%), research publications per faculty member on sustainability topics in calendar year 2020 (20%), percent of total faculty publications in 2020 on sustainability topics (20%), number of citations per faculty for those publications (10%), sustainability-focused research institutes and centres (10%), faculty gender diversity (5%) and faculty racial diversity (5%).
