Deusto Business School has been recognised for its societal impact and commitment to sustainability as part of the sixth edition of the Positive Impact Rating (PIR), launched today at the PIR Global Summit 2025 and also acknowledged during the UN PRME Global Forum.
Deusto Business School is one of the 86 business schools from 30 countries participating in this year’s edition, which saw a record engagement of 17,167 student responses, a 13% increase from the previous year. The school achieved Level 4, making it a Transforming institution within the PIR framework.
The PIR is a unique rating created by students, for students. It was designed to capture how participants perceive their schools’ positive impact on the world. In 2025, the PIR introduced a key innovation: the Faculty Survey, which some schools,chose to implement, allowing a comparison between student and faculty perspectives. This dual-stakeholder lens helps identify alignment or divergence in perception and fosters shared learning.
Participants evaluated how Deusto Business School addresses societal and sustainability challenges and how well it prepares its students to become responsible leaders. The data collection at School was organized and led by Deusto Business Alumni, who distributed the survey across campus.
By participating in PIR 2025, Deusto Business School demonstrates its commitment to transparency and to listening to the voice of its key stakeholders.
