The New Academy of Business was closed with a ceremony on 7th June 2005, when its successor, the Association of Sustainability Practitioners was launched. This web site is now a history of the New Academy, which lives on in the membership of the Association. We will gradually amend this site over the year so that it tells the New Academy story more fully.

The Association of Sustaiability Practitioners is continuing the good work of the New Academy of Business, and can be found at www.asp-online.org.

If you would like to contact anybody related to the New Academy, you will be able to do so via info@asp-online.org.
