Introducing the 2026-2027 PRME Champions Cohort

We are delighted to introduce the newest PRME Champions cohort, a distinguished group of 50 PRME Signatory Members selected for their exemplary commitment to advancing responsible management education and transforming their institutions around the Seven Principles of PRME. PRME Champions are recognized thought and action leaders within the PRME community, representing a breadth of regions, institutional types, and strategic approaches to sustainability and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Each Champion institution has demonstrated a strong track record of innovation, collaboration, and influence in driving meaningful change across curricula, research, partnerships, and institutional practice.

Over the next two years, the cohort will engage in a set of self-selected focus areas, defined through an initial period of collective inquiry, to advance the Principles of PRME and the SDGs through sustained commitments to community development and the advancement of education. They will continue building on the Champions’ mission to work collaboratively to tackle shared barriers and deliver value for both business and society. Through active engagement in workshops, thematic roundtables, and strategic collaborations, Champions will play a central role in thought leadership within the PRME community, demonstrating depth and breadth of engagement within issue-specific work and across the community. Their collective work will not only support PRME’s strategic objectives but will also contribute to strengthening responsible management education globally in alignment with the vision of the United Nations Global Compact and the 2030 Agenda.

As a flagship engagement opportunity within the PRME community, the Champions provide a unique space for institutional leaders and faculty to co-create, test, and scale transformative ideas that redefine how business and management education contributes to sustainable development. We look forward to the continuation of meaningful projects, new inspiring initiatives and high-impact outcomes this cohort will generate. Over the coming months, stay tuned for updates on the cohort’s activities, outputs, and contributions to the wider PRME community.
