Thirteen Chinese universities have added courses on environmental protection to their Masters of Business Administration courses, according to the 3rd International Conference on Environment and Business Education held at Fudan University yesterday.

This is the first time for the annual conference to be sponsored by a local university since the Business Environment Learning and Leadership Program was introduced into China in 2000.

Thirteen universities, including Fudan, Qinghua and Beijing universities, are among the first batch of Chinese universities to add environmental protection courses to their MBA programs.

The first national textbook on MBA environmental management is also being compiled by the National MBA Supervisory Committee.

"The new module was added to raise awareness of environ-mental protection among top-level managers," said Zhu Daoli, director of the Manage-ment Science Department at Fudan.

Chinese companies used to have a reputation for paying little attention to the environment, but some have noticed that many foreign companies have made huge profits by employing recycling technology, said Zhu Dajian, professor at Tongji University.
