Corporate Social Responsibility

Corporate social responsibility (CSR) is undertaken by businesses to ensure a safer tomorrow. Here at EU Business School, we integrate CSR in a number of ways. Most importantly, we lead by example, incorporating CSR into our business strategy and educational philosophy. We are proud to play our part by incorporating sustainable thinking into our curricula; educating students about modern developments and actively contributing to exciting green projects and development initiatives. We help our students develop socially responsible mindsets, creating both conscientious and successful leaders for tomorrow’s business world. Learn more about our corporate partnerships and CSR initiatives below.

Students for Humans -
EU Soccer Charity Event

Football is more than just a sport. It’s a universal language that brings people together from all over the world, eliminating the borders that separate us and the differences that set us apart. Our annual 7-a-side charity football tournament embraces ‘the beautiful game’ while bringing our multicultural student body together for a common cause. Organized by and for EU students, the charity tournament aims to raise money for a good cause that will ultimately have an impact beyond the goal line!

A Helping Hand

We are working with local organizations to improve the infrastructure of Yirwal, a West African village, located in Burkina Faso, a landlocked country where French is an official language. Thus far, we have funded an ambulance, two flour mills and a water well. By improving the infrastructure of the village and empowering women entrepreneurs, we have improved conditions for the community. Easy access to water has been especially beneficial for children, improving attendance at the local school. Currently, we are planning a training center to prepare young people for work.
