What is PRME? Principles for Responsible Management Education (PRME) is a United Nations-supported initiative founded in 2007 whose mission is to “transform management education and develop the responsible decision-makers of tomorrow to advance sustainable development” (https://www.unprme.org/about). PRME aligns business and management schools with the work of the UN Global Compact through six guiding principles, while highlighting the role businesses can play in helping to realize the 2030 UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In a world where the pace of change and the magnitude of risks facing business are unprecedented, the PRME framework helps to promote the sense of responsibility, urgency and ethic needed amongst future busines leaders – our students. At the Gerald Schwartz School of Business, PRME honors who we are – a business school grounded in the values of service and social responsibility, within a university for which social justice, community engagement, active citizenship, and a global sense of responsibility are hallmarks of our history and core to our DNA.
