In recent decades, scientific research has increasingly focused on addressing management practices, underscoring the importance of evidence in informed decision-making. Evidence-based management (EBM) involves making decisions based on the best available data—scientific findings and unbiased organizational insights. This approach has gained significance as a powerful tool for applying critical thinking and empirical evidence to improve management processes. This is an emerging area in management which is based on critical thinking and the best available contemporary and optimal evidence to explicitly use in management and decision-making processes. This field of study has emerged from empiricism with the aim of applying scientific methods to improve the managerial decision-making process.

The International Conference on Evidence Based Management (ICEBM) 2025 marks the 5th edition of this biennial conference, which started in 2015. As a part of the Diamond Jubilee celebrations of BITS Pilani, this year the Department of Management, BITS Pilani- Pilani Campus and Dubai Campus will jointly organize the conference with a focus on "Greening Minds for a Greener Future". Considering the importance of sustainability in every aspect of our lives and business, the theme chosen this year is "Towards a Sustainable Future".

This conference focuses on the integration of sustainability into business practices, promoting long-term growth, environmental responsibility, and a greener future through evidence-based management. This alignment with sustainability principles is crucial for driving impactful decisions that foster both organizational success and a sustainable planet. ICEBM 2025 will provide the opportunity to interact with some of the renowned experts in the domain of management and other scholars from different parts of the world.
