2023 PRME Student Organization Awards

The purpose of the 2023 PRME Student Awards is to honor outstanding student-led initiatives within the PRME Community that demonstrate exceptional levels of innovation and impact in their actions toward the advancement of Responsible Management Education and the Sustainable Development Goals at local, national, and global levels.

The three-stage awarding process was led by the PRME Global Students (PGS) with the support of the PRME Secretariat. Beginning with the Nomination Stage, each of the nine PGS Regional Leaders nominated three outstanding sustainability-oriented student-led organizations in their respective continents and global sub-regions. Subsequently, in the Scoring Stage, a quantitative approach was used to narrow down the 27 nominations in nine top-listed candidates. Finally, during the Deliberation Stage, the PGS Regional Leaders met to discuss the shortlisted candidates and reached first a consensus on the three finalists, and subsequently, picked up the final winner.

In 2023, one winner and two runner-ups were selected for the PRME Student Award, and they were presented during a ceremony at the 2023 PRME Global Forum. They are:
