A multidisciplinary hub committed to advancing sustainability through innovation-led business transformation — integrating academic rigor with real-world application.
The global economy is undergoing a profound transformation driven by climate challenges, technological disruption, and evolving societal expectations. In Saudi Arabia, this transformation is amplified by the ambitions of Saudi Vision 2030, which calls for:
CSBI was established to contribute directly to these objectives — adopting a systems-thinking approach that recognizes sustainability challenges are interconnected and require integrated solutions across energy transition, sustainable urban development, digital transformation, and inclusive economic growth.
We conduct interdisciplinary research that draws on multiple fields — science, economics, and social studies — to generate well-rounded insights. Our findings inform public policy, shape business strategy, and translate research outcomes into practical applications and new technologies.
We develop and pilot scalable solutions designed to tackle pressing real-world challenges across various sectors. By piloting these solutions, we gather valuable data to refine their effectiveness. Once validated, they are designed to scale efficiently — ensuring innovative ideas transition into sustainable, real-world applications.
We collaborate closely with partners across industry, government, and civil society to create meaningful and lasting impact. Our partnerships translate ideas into market-ready applications, support effective policy development, and ensure community needs are fully represented in our initiatives.
We build capacity by equipping individuals and organizations with the skills and knowledge needed to succeed in a rapidly changing environment — through targeted training programs, executive education, and knowledge-sharing platforms across sectors.
The Centre publishes a bi-annual journal — Environment, Society and Business Review (ESBR) — a double-blind, peer-reviewed, open-access multidisciplinary journal committed to disseminating impactful research to a global audience of scholars, practitioners, and policymakers.
