Terms & Conditions

Responsible Management Education means that business schools integrate topics such as sustainability, ethics, and corporate social responsibility in their curricula and research programs. It also includes student led initiatives, social engagement and extracurricular activities and events.

What is PRME?

Principles for Responsible Management Education (PRME) is a United Nations-supported initiative founded in 2007. Working through Six Principles, PRME engages business and management schools to ensure they provide future leaders with the skills needed to balance economic and sustainability goals, while drawing attention to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and aligning academic institutions with the work of the UN Global Compact.
