The Principles for Responsible Management Education (PRME) is a United Nations-supported initiative founded in 2007 that aims to raise the profile of sustainability in their classrooms through Six Principles focused on serving society and safeguarding our planet.
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. Driven by its mission to transform management education, PRME equips today's business students with the understanding and ability to deliver change tomorrow.
As a voluntary initiative with over 800 signatories worldwide, PRME has become the largest organized relationship between the United Nations and management-related higher education institutions.
Business and management schools as well as management and leadership development institutions are among the most influential actors in the world, as they shape the skills and mindset of future leaders.
PRME’s vision is to create a global movement and drive thought leadership on responsible management education. PRME’s mission is to transform management education and develop the responsible decision-makers of tomorrow to advance sustainable development.
PRME works closely with UN Global Compact to have management schools and business collaborate on common aspirations and create collective impact.
"The PRME initiative was launched to nurture responsible leaders of the future. Never has this task been more important. Bold leadership and innovative thinking are needed to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals."
Antonio Guterres, United Nations Secretary-General
