Mission & Strategy 3 The Business and Environment Initiative seeks to deepen our collective understanding of the urgent environmental challenges confronting business leaders and to help them use the tools of business to design effective solutions. The BEI aspires to help leaders create the economic and political institutions that will enable firms and societies to thrive while maintaining the physical and biological systems on which they depend. We work toward this mission by engaging with:  Faculty – to catalyze research and leverage its impact  Students – to educate and support future business leaders  Alumni – to highlight inspiring work and create connections  External constituents – to share HBS contributions and to learn
