Campaigns and impact

Making a difference to the communities we serve

Our campaigns, press activity and social impact sit in this area of the website. As a not-for-profit organisation with a strong social mission, we care deeply about making a positive contribution to the markets we serve.  Our programmes develop skills which improve the lives of individuals and the prosperity of communities and we seek to have an impact beyond the products and services we offer #ABEway.  We fund and share independent research which supports policy development in business and entrepreneurship education around the world.

Our reports & commitments

Passport to progress front
Passport to progress: a blueprint for the world's most pro-innovation visa system

This is an ABE-funded report from leading business groups that urges a radical rethink of migration policy in order to stimulate economic growth. The report has been produced by UK government think tank The Entrepreneurs Network, foreworded by Lord Bilimoria and it was launched at the House of Lords to immediate media interest. 

Our journey: 50 years of social impact
Our journey: 50 years of social impact

ABE was formed in 1973 with a clear social purpose: to make good quality business education accessible to aspiring entrepreneurs and managers everywhere. Since then we have been making a difference, positively impacting the lives of individuals, organisations and communities all over the world. This celebratory brochure tells our unique story and provides a manifesto for the next 50 years.

ES Pledge
Our Environmental & Social (ES) Impact Pledge & Partners

Our ES Pledge focuses on three impact pathways - our People, our Planet, and our Partners. The Pledge builds on the ABE way manifesto and underpins our commitment to support the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) so that we embrace best-practice in all our policies and operations.  It also leverages the power of our network by working with our global partners to deliver real change.
