In recognition of conducting the impact assessment, IMD was honored with the prestigious Business School Impact System (BSIS) label from the European Foundation for Management Development. The label recognizes business schools on the forefront of measuring their local impacts.

With the label, IMD became one of less than ten pioneering business schools to hold the three elite accreditations and the BSIS seal.
