Introducing the 2024-2025 PRME Champions

PRME is pleased to announce the new cohort of PRME Champions for 2024-2025. This cohort boasts 47 PRME Signatory Members with a track record of impactful contributions in thought and action leadership. Each institution was selected to join the cohort by the PRME Secretariat from a pool of strong and diverse applicants.

The PRME Champions represent a group of dedicated business and management schools from across the PRME community that are committed to working collaboratively to develop and promote activities that address shared barriers for the PRME community, and which deliver value for business and society at large. Previous collaborations by PRME Champions include the Climate Literacy Training for Business Schools, the Blueprint for SDG Integration and its extended library, and more.

The focus of the 2024-2025 Champions cycle will be on advancing the re-commitment to the refreshed Seven Principles of PRME; engagement in Thematic Roundtables for generating ideas and solutions to institutional challenges within business schools that support the PRME strategy; and aligning with the vision of the United Nations Global Compact in completing actions toward achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Additionally, the 2024-2025 Champions will be essential in curating content to contribute to PRME Commons - the upcoming digital space for accountability, exchanges and learning between members of the PRME community. Additional outputs from the Champions Programme will be determined by the cohort’s collaborative agenda, and the PRME community eagerly anticipates high impact from the group.

As a flagship PRME programme, the PRME Champions Programme provides faculty members with a space for developing and sharing collaborative educational methods and a ‘living lab’ for ambitious new ideas for developing the next generation of sustainability-driven business schools and management-related higher education institutions in support of the SDGs.
