Industry Partnerships

The Impact, Value, and Sustainable Business Initiative at the Wharton School
The Impact, Value, and Sustainable Business Initiative partners with corporate, non-profit, and public organizations.

We Partner in Four Ways

  • Research partnerships improve the measurement of impact factors and the models that link those measures to valuation as well as to changes in firm behavior.
  • Curricular partnerships improve the pedagogy of teaching impact with new cases, data analytic exercises, simulations, and training programs.
  • Co-Curricular partnerships provide experiential learning opportunities for our students in impact investing and consulting services.
  • Data partnerships allow Wharton faculty and other researchers access to proprietary impact data for objective third party validation and analysis with an eye towards peer reviewed academic publication

THE SUPPORT AND VISION OF IMPACT INVESTOR BOBBY TURNER, W’84

As a longtime supporter of social impact and sustainability activities at Wharton, Turner – CEO of Turner Impact Capital – is an example of, as Joseph Wharton said, harnessing the power of business to “solve the social problems incident to our civilization.” He also helps inform the ongoing priorities and future direction of the Wharton School as a member of the Board of Advisors. Wharton Impact is very grateful to Lauren Golub Turner, W’85, and Bobby Turner, W’84 for their support.
