The BGA Charter: Advancing Impactful Business Education Globally
What is the BGA Charter
The BGA Charter defines the expectations of the Business Graduates Association for business schools worldwide, providing a clear framework for achieving excellence and measurable impact in management education. This forward-thinking validation process is designed to foster continuous improvement, helping institutions enhance their educational practices, strengthen operational performance, and elevate their global reputation.
Beyond operational excellence, the Charter emphasises the importance of responsible and ethical leadership, sustainable management practices, and lifelong learning. It encourages institutions to create transformative experiences for students while delivering tangible benefits to society, communities, and the wider business ecosystem.
The BGA Charter Principles
Through its nine guiding principles, the BGA Charter helps business schools design high-impact programs, develop visionary leaders, and foster a culture of accountability, integrity, and social responsibility. By aligning with the BGA Charter, institutions demonstrate their commitment to delivering business education that meets international standards while creating measurable benefits for students, organisations, and communities worldwide.
BGA member schools are expected to actively engage with the Charter, which is inspired by the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This ensures alignment not only with excellence in education but also with global priorities in sustainability, ethical leadership, and social responsibility.
