The World Business Academy is a nonprofit think tank and action incubator based in Santa Barbara, California, that aims to engage business leaders in pursuing societal and planetary benefit while maintaining profitability. For nearly four decades, its research has covered critical environmental, economic, and social challenges, promoting servant leadership, sustainable energy, and conscious business practices, and exploring how stakeholder capitalism can align profit with purpose. Its activities span thought leadership, advocacy, and hands-on projects addressing climate change and its effects on personal finances and corporate performance, with a focus on renewable energy adoption and environmentally responsible production methods.

As a small to mid-sized organization, the academy hosts The Brutoco Briefing, a monthly, members-only dialogue led by founder and CEO Rinaldo Brutoco that connects global developments with policy, capital markets, and investment trends. Recent activity includes participation in the Planetary Sunshade Workshop in May 2026, where Rick Wayman delivered a presentation on the academy's involvement in planetary-scale environmental initiatives.
