We are committed
to sustainability
We promote and support practices based on ethical, responsible, and socially driven principles.
Our initiatives are developed through five key areas of action:
1. Academic Foundation
Responsible, ethical, social, and sustainable management
At ESBS, we believe in an education that goes beyond the classroom. Our in-person and online training programs are designed to integrate ethical, social, and sustainability principles, preparing professionals to lead sports organizations with responsibility and purpose.
Social responsibility in our programs:
All our postgraduate and short courses include a dedicated focus on responsible management. Throughout their training, students develop practical projects and case studies from an ethical and social perspective, guided by our faculty and partner organizations.
Sport towards development and peace
Liderazgo y gestión sostenible: Ofrecemos formación continua y programas especializados en el sector deportivo con módulos enfocados en la gestión eficiente, la sostenibilidad y el impacto positivo a través del deporte.
2. Social Foundation
Aid programs
At ESBS, we firmly believe that education breaks down barriers. That’s why, every year, we offer scholarships and financial aid to support access for diverse groups to our master’s degrees, postgraduate programs, continuing education, and specialized courses.
These grants are subject to specific requirements outlined in each program.
Sports entrepreneurship support
Our origins as an entrepreneurial project within the sports industry make us especially supportive of initiatives born from a passion for sport.
Each year, we promote the creation of new sustainable sports projects and businesses through:
-
Specialized training in sports management
-
Non-profit advisory services for entrepreneurs
-
Financial support through crowdfunding and micro-patronage
Our academic community is a powerful engine of ideas, and we are committed to providing real tools to help turn those ideas into viable projects.
Education in developing countries
Más del 40% de nuestro alumnado proviene de países en vías de desarrollo. Este dato nos impulsa a seguir creando programas adaptados a diferentes realidades sociales y económicas.
Hacemos uso de la tecnología como aliada para democratizar el acceso al conocimiento: ofrecemos formación online flexible, asequible y accesible desde cualquier parte del mundo, con sólo una conexión básica a internat.
Además, contamos con una línea de formación gratuita a través de nuestros cursos MOOC, donde abordamos contenidos esenciales en distintas áreas. Este programa, en constante crecimiento, busca generar alianzas con instituciones locales, ofrecer contenidos en varios idiomas (como inglés y chino), y fomentar el intercambio cultural a través del deporte.
3. Research Foundation
At ESBS, we believe in research as a core driver of knowledge generation, innovation, and the creation of new projects and businesses.
Currently, we are focusing on two main research lines as part of a growing program. The aim is to generate knowledge within a framework of social responsibility, in collaboration with universities and research centers.
4. Social Sustainability Foundation
ESBS was founded as an innovative institution driven by the values of sport and the belief that technology is a key tool for facilitating accessible education with a social impact, while being environmentally responsible.
Since our inception, we have taken on a strong commitment to sustainability, particularly in reducing waste generated by our educational activities. This principle is reflected both in the design of our academic programs and in our daily practices.
Training without leaving a footprint is one of our goals: we promote digital, efficient, and environmentally responsible educational models.
Sustainability training
All of our programs include a specific focus on environmental sustainability. Our goal is to raise awareness and train future professionals on the importance of respecting the environment and the responsible management of natural resources.
In addition, we offer continuing education and postgraduate programs specialized in areas such as:
- Environmental sustainability in sport
- Sustainable sports management
- Efficient management of sports facilities and events
- Carbon footprint calculation and reduction
We believe that a truly innovative sports industry must also be aware of its environmental impact and work actively to reduce it.
Sustainable Management Support
Institutions such as Valencia CF and its Foundation have trusted our professionals’ expertise to implement sustainable strategies within the sports sector.
Some of the most notable projects include:
- Development of the first Sustainability Plan for a professional football club in Spain
- Carbon footprint calculation and analysis
- Implementation, execution, and review of the ISO 14.001 Environmental Management standard
- Organization of events and training activities based on principles of efficiency, sustainability, and environmental awareness
These collaborations reflect our commitment to a more conscious sports industry, one that is prepared to lead the change toward a more sustainable future.
5. Business Foundation
At ESBS, we actively promote corporate social responsibility. Our goal is for both our partner organizations and our faculty and students to share and promote our values of ethics, sustainability, and social commitment in the management and development of projects.
In addition, we are firmly committed to gender equality. We are dedicated to reducing the gender gap within our team and faculty, working to build a more equitable, inclusive, and representative academic environment.
Our goal is to turn people's passion for sport into their career.
