Bloomberg Businessweek has named the Stephen M. Ross School of Business at the University of Michigan as the leading business school nationally for the teaching of sustainability, citing the role of the Erb Institute for Global Sustainable Enterprise in achieving that distinction.

The Erb Institute manages the dual-degree program between Ross and the School of Natural Resources and Environment. The Institute is committed to creating a socially and environmentally sustainable society through the power of business. Building on nearly two decades of research, teaching, and direct engagement, the Institute has become one of the world's leading sources of innovative knowledge on the culture, technologies, operations and governance of business in a changing world.

As part of the 2012 Best B-Schools ranking, Bloomberg Businessweek annually releases a Best B-Schools ranking. The ranking process asks current MBA students about the full range of their business school experience, including specific aspects of their business program. Ranked as part of that process were schools' offerings in nine specialty areas, from diversity to e-business.

Here is what Bloomberg Businessweek wrote:
It’s no surprise that Ross fares well in the green business ranks, considering that the school is home to the world-renowned Erb Institute for Global Sustainable Enterprise.

Frederick A. and Barbara M. Erb founded the Institute in 1996 with an endowment gift of $5 million.
