The Rio Declaration of the 2012 PRME Global Forum included a call from the PRME community for the creation of a leadership group.
In 2013, PRME launched a two-year pilot group of engaged PRME signatories committed to working collaboratively to develop and promote activities that address shared barriers to making broad scale implementation of sustainability principles a reality. In the 2nd cycle (2016-2017), as leaders in the space of responsible management education, PRME Champions undertook advanced tasks and game changing projects that responded to systemic challenges faced by the PRME community, as well as to key issues identified by the United Nations and the UN Global Compact. In the 3rd Cycle (2018-2019), PRME Champions focused on taking transformative action on integrating the SDGs in curriculum, research and partnerships, with the aim to produce a comprehensive Blueprint for SDG Integration in Business Schools to be made available to the wider PRME community (first version expected end March 2020).
The mission of the PRME Champions group is to contribute to thought and action leadership on responsible management education in the context of the United Nations sustainable development agenda.
