IU Group (IUG) has successfully completed the audit process by the independent non-profit organisation B Lab. As a certified B Corporation, IUG thus fulfils high standards in terms of social and environmental impact.
The positive certification also reflects IU International University of Applied Sciences' commitment to sustainability:
As a provider of innovative educational programmes, sustainability is one of IU's core values. IU aims to make a contribution to sustainability primarily through its educational programmes. This is based on IU's fundamental idea of democratising education. This states that everyone should have access to education in order to be able to develop further - regardless of their personal and financial situation or their background.
Certified B Corporations or B Corps are companies that have been certified by the B Lab as meeting high standards for social and environmental performance, transparency and responsible behaviour.
In contrast to other certificates that focus on individual products or sectors, the B Corp assesses the overall performance of a company in the areas of social, ecological and economic commitment. Particular emphasis is placed on public transparency and legal accountability. Further information at: https://www.bcorporation.net/en-us/
