The Center for Business as an Agent of World Benefit is part of the Weatherhead School of Management at Case Western Reserve University.
The Center was launched on June 24, 2004—the same day that Weatherhead faculty and students facilitated the United Nations Leaders Summit with the UN Secretary General and 500 CEOs from many of the world’s largest corporations. Through research, education, and advanced projects with industry leaders and policy makers, the Center was created to advance extraordinary business and society innovation, helping to revolutionize the ways business will eradicate poverty, replenish and restore nature, and build foundations for peace through commerce.
