Where Sustainability Meets Business: Studying in Prague

21. 5. 2025

In a world facing urgent environmental and social challenges, businesses are being called to act not only as economic engines but also as stewards of sustainable development. From climate change to ethical supply chains, the demand for professionals who understand both business and sustainability has never been higher. This is where the field of sustainable management comes into play, blending business strategy with environmental and social responsibility.

But where is the best place to study such a dynamic and globally relevant subject?

A European Capital with a Green Edge

Prague, the capital of the Czech Republic, offers a compelling setting for anyone interested in the intersection of business and sustainability. With its blend of rich history and forward-looking innovation, the city is emerging as a hub for sustainable initiatives in Central Europe. From city-led climate action plans to grassroots environmental movements, Prague offers more than just a beautiful backdrop; it provides real-world case studies, networks, and opportunities for engagement.

Beyond its green efforts, Prague is home to a growing ecosystem of ethical startups, social enterprises, and international NGOs. This makes it an ideal environment for students who want to see sustainable management in action, not just in textbooks. Public transport is widely used and remarkably efficient, zero-waste stores are gaining ground, and urban gardening projects are turning forgotten corners of the city into pockets of biodiversity. It’s a place where theory meets practice.


A Strategic Location for a Global Career

Studying in Prague means placing yourself at the crossroads of East and West, tradition and innovation. The city’s international outlook and relatively low cost of living make it especially attractive for students from all over the world. Plus, Prague’s central location makes it easy to connect with the broader European business and sustainability landscape — from Berlin to Vienna, Budapest to Warsaw.


Learning Sustainable Management in Context

Sustainable management isn’t just about green policies or corporate responsibility; it’s about building resilient, future-proof organisations that thrive in a changing world. In Prague, students have the opportunity to learn this in a context where sustainability is increasingly shaping both public discourse and business decisions.

This kind of education is available through one of the top-rated private business schools in Czechia, NEWTON University, where the curriculum balances international business with sustainability, ethics, and innovation. The Economics and Sustainable Management programme, taught entirely in English, draws students from across Europe and beyond, fostering a learning environment rooted in diverse perspectives.

For those who want to lead change, not just talk about it, Prague offers a practical, connected, and inspiring place to begin. Sustainable management is no longer a niche subject — it’s the future of business. Choosing to study sustainable management in Prague opens doors to a meaningful career, equipped to meet the challenges of tomorrow.
