EAE Business School renews its status as a Transforming School in the Positive Impact Rating 2026
- This rating reinforces EAE Business School's commitment to sustainability, positive impact and educating leaders to drive responsible transformation
EAE Business School has once again been rated as a Transforming School (Level 4) in the Positive Impact Rating (PIR) 2026, marking the fourth consecutive year that it has been ranked among the international business schools that excel in terms of integrating positive impact, sustainability and social responsibility within their culture, governance and academic activity.
An accolade with growing international reach
The seventh edition of the Positive Impact Rating recorded its highest participation to date, with more than 20,000 students, 90 business schools and representatives from 32 countries taking part. These figures reinforce the PIR's position as one of the leading international benchmarks for assessing the positive impact of business schools from their students’ perspective.
In the 2026 edition, 12 schools achieved Level 5 (Pioneering), while 58 institutions were awarded Level 4 (Transforming). EAE Business School has once again been recognized in the Transforming category for its commitment to embedding a culture of positive impact throughout its educational model, governance and academic activity.
Training leaders to drive impact
The PIR 2026 report identifies three priorities highlighted by students around the world: promoting more practical learning connected to real-world challenges, strengthening collaboration with companies and organizations, and embedding sustainability, ethics and social impact throughout academic programs.
These findings are closely aligned with the strategy of EAE Business School and EAE Barcelona, which is committed to education focused on employability, innovation and internationalization, preparing professionals equipped to lead the sustainable transformation of organizations.
