Launch of PRME Chapter China

28 May 2021

With the strong support of the PRME Secretariat, PRME Board Member Prof. Haifeng Huang is organizing the first PRME China Academic Committee with a broad representation of scholars in the field of business ethics, sustainable development, responsible management, corporate social responsibility from Chinese universities and research institutes. PRME Chapter China will be officially established in late May/early June 2021.

The call for establishing PRME Chapter China received widespread support and encouragement from the community. A high-energy team led by Prof. Haifeng Huang was established six months ago following close collaboration and transparent communication. The core team includes Prof. Hualiang Lu from Changzhou University, Dr. Xuanwei Cao from Xi’an Jiaotong-Liverpool University, Prof. Yi Guo from Beijing Technology and Business University, Prof. Haiying Lin from Hainan University, and Dr. Huanan Wu from Peking University.

The Meeting also received significant contribution from Changzhou University and Xi’an Jiaotong-Liverpool University as well as supportive work from other universities and institutes including Beijing Technology and Business University, Beijing EDUI International Environment Technologies Research Institute, Peking University, Tsinghua University, China Renmin University, Zhejiang University, Capital University of Economics and Business, and the subordinated institutes of Ecological Development Union International.

On 28-30 May, the first PRME China Academic Committee Meeting will be hosted at Changzhou University. The Meeting will discuss broadly related issues of responsible and sustainable business education in the Chinese context. A working plan and objectives, as well as governance of PRME Chapter China, would also be discussed in this Meeting. The establishment of PRME Chapter China will be announced during the event.

The establishment of PRME Chapter China is a historic milestone in the cause of building a truly global PRME community. We expect more active engagement of Chinese colleagues in our community and large-scale positive impacts on promoting the development of PRME in China.
