Message from the CEMS Chair

CEMS – The Global Alliance in Management Education - is a powerful network for having an impact on a sustainable future. CEMS is built on partnership, learning, and the cross-cultural exchange of ideas. This community, comprised of extraordinary business schools, outstanding corporate partners, alumni and students across the world, is key in adapting to these challenging yet exciting times.

The CEMS MIM Programme provides students with a global outlook, profound knowledge and an ability to navigate the world with a clear values compass. The CEMS MIM curriculum and the research conducted at our member schools are embedded in our pursuit of developing and equipping the next generation of business leaders to be champions of the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals. CEMS graduates have the potential to push boundaries and create a better, more sustainable world. CEMS has been part of the PRME initiative since 2010, establishing responsibility and inter- connectivity as the main priorities towards building a better world. In these times of war, economic turmoil and re-nationalization, it has been particularly disruptive in higher education and social unrest worldwide, CEMS is therefore becoming more important than ever to forge strong partnerships across borders and strengthen cross-cultural exchanges, and our commitment to PRME has been continuously growing.

Our values: integrity, humility, cultural diversity, respect and empathy are guiding lights for the world as a whole. We are committed to increase the collaboration between all members and partners and see CEMS setting the agenda for how business schools need to develop for a better and sustainable future.

I am pleased to endorse this report and invite you to see our commitment and significant progress we have made in the past two years towards the implementation of the six PRME principles.
