We advocate for the open sharing of information and ideas.
As learning thrives on a diversity of viewpoints, we value free expression, debate, and dialogue in pursuit of truth, committing to using these tools with mutual respect towards our community.
We strive to be transparent and worthy of mutual trust, challenging ourselves to confront difficult truths, speak plainly about shortcomings in our systems, and work to overcome them.
3 / Belonging and Community
We strive to make our community a humane and welcoming place where people from diverse backgrounds can grow and thrive, and where we all feel that we belong.
We understand that attending to our own and each other's well-being in mind, body, and spirit is essential.
We believe that decency, kindness, respect, and compassion for others as human beings are signs of strength.
We acknowledge that talent and good ideas can come from anywhere, and we value everyone's contributions in every role.
Together, we possess uncommon strengths and take responsibility for using them with wisdom and care for humanity and the natural world, especially Water.
4 / Sustainability
Our community is united by a shared purpose: to work towards a sustainable future through education and responsible water management.
Inspired by the pressing need to preserve our water resources for future generations, we strive to lead the way in water management education and the promotion of sustainable practices across all sectors.
Our focus on water sustainability is reflected in our educational initiatives and international collaborations. We encourage diversity of perspectives and interdisciplinary collaboration to comprehensively and effectively address water challenges.
This is your place
Water is the essence of life.
It is the foundation upon which everything else depends, our own survival, the energy that fuels our world, the food we eat, and the health of our ecosystems, from oceans and rivers to lakes and groundwater.
Our industry may not always enjoy the spotlight, but its impact is undeniable.
At The Water MBA, we are here to make sure our voice is heard.
We strive to be an International Water Business School, a leading, reputable source of knowledge, independent, insightful, and always ahead of the curve.
This is a space without barriers, where every voice matters, a passionate community dedicated to the belief that small groups can drive meaningful change.
But we won’t limit ourselves to the water sector alone. We believe visibility beyond our industry is important, fostering connections and conversations in broader forums.
The Water MBA will bring you the best insights from our field, behind-the-scenes reflections, and knowledge drawn from diverse sources.
The only guarantee?
You'll learn, grow, and gain a deeper understanding of both the industry and yourself—personally and professionally.
