Recognition of Excellence in SIP Reporting Recipients

The Sharing Information on Progress (SIP) report is a pillar in the PRME community. It serves as a platform for storytelling, a tool for internal and external accountability, and a strategic document for many in their accreditation processes. To recognize the time put into compiling these reports and to honor the efforts in transparency from the community, the PRME Recognition of Excellence in SIP Reporting was created.

Reports considered for Recognition in Excellence in 2026 were those submitted between 1 March and 30 September, 2025. To be considered eligible, reports needed to meet the basic SIP Policy requirements. This includes a letter signed by the highest executive of the organization expressing continued commitment to PRME.

The intention of the SIP report is threefold:

Share: Showcase and disseminate your institution’s leading practices, innovations, and lessons learned across the PRME community and beyond.

Information: Provide a clear, structured account of how your institution is embedding sustainability and the Principles of PRME, creating a transparent record of activities, initiatives, and outcomes.

Progress: Establish a baseline and enable continuous improvement by tracking goals, actions, and results over time, so you can measure advancement, identify gaps, and strengthen your approach to implementing sustainability and the PRME values year over year.

SIPs were graded holistically based on how clearly they demonstrated responsible management education in alignment with the Seven Principles of PRME. Stronger submissions highlight strategic integration, meaningful engagement, and continuous improvement rather than isolated activities.
