WHO?

The United Nations Principles for Responsible Management Education (PRME) is founding partner of the PRME LEADERS+20 competition and one of the main drivers in improving management education.

 

PRME

The PRME – Principles for Responsible Management Education - aims to inspire and champion responsible management education, research and thought leadership globally. The PRME is inspired by the United Nations Global Compact.

The PRME seeks to establish a process of continuous improvement among institutions of management education in order to develop a new generation of business leaders capable of managing the complex challenges faced by business and society in the 21st century.

The PRME calls for business schools and universities worldwide to adapt their curricula, research, teaching methodologies and institutional strategies to the new business challenges and opportunities.

The Six Principles functions as a guiding framework for any institution which is willing to integrate corporate responsibility and sustainability.
