Good Business is Good Business Conference

Produced by the Responsible Business Center Fordham University Gabelli School of Business

A gathering of leaders and practitioners from sustainable business, finance, policy, academia, and the nonprofit sector — exploring the material benefits and opportunities of pursuing measurable social, climate, and economic outcomes.

The Responsible Business Center and the Fordham University Gabelli School of Business believe that Good Business is Good Business. Much of today’s public discussion around corporate sustainability overlooks the long-term and attainable objectives of business: operating in ways that support a just and sustainable planet while generating profit. Increasingly, companies recognize that true success requires considering all stakeholders, including consumers, employees, communities, and investors. This approach is not only the right thing to do, it is also a smart strategy. By embracing stakeholder-centered practices, businesses unlock significant opportunities in the global transition toward positively impacting people and the planet.

Each year, the conference also features the American Innovation Index, developed in partnership with Radius Insights and the Norwegian School of Business.

The 4th Annual Conference is scheduled for March 12, 2026.
