The study delves into the integration of sustainability concepts into management curricula and identifies strategies that business leaders can employ to enhance their environmental consciousness. The study delves deeper into the literature on sustainability education in management curricula, addressing the fundamentals, bringing about significant changes and the tactics to be employed throughout each curriculum phase. The qualitative study is significant. It conducts in-depth interviews with three cohorts of seven respondents each, representing subject facilitators, students and support staff. Interpretative thematic analysis revealed the following themes: management institution infrastructure, preference for sustainability skill sets, job market needs, new hires and philosophical knowledge. The study suggests that the implementation of educational strategies and activities aimed at learning transformation and sustainability knowledge should be coordinated with all the levels of an institute's operations. A provision of a holistic environment that takes into account both micro and macro sustainability aspects is required, and should be meticulously managed, so that the students who will become the managers of tomorrow have the potential to become green business leaders.
