The largest organized relationship between the United Nations and management-related higher education institutions
#GlobalGoals Follow us on twitterThe preamble of the Principles for Responsible Management Education states: "As institutions of higher education involved in the development of current and future managers we declare our willingness to progress in the implementation, within our institution, of the following Principles, starting with those that are more relevant to our capacities and mission. We will report on progress to all our stakeholders and exchange effective practices related to these principles with other academic institutions."
A central commitment of any institution participating in the PRME initiative is to regularly share information with its stakeholders on the progress made in implementing the Six Principles through the Sharing Information on Progress (SIP). As a key integrity measure, the SIP's main objective is to serve as a public vehicle for information on responsible management education. In addition, the SIP can be an effective tool for facilitating stakeholder dialogue and a learning community among signatories.
The policy outlined below has been developed based on the consensus reached at the 1st PRME Global Forum for Responsible Management Education in 2008, and has been updated in consultation with the PRME Working Group on SIP and PRME Advisory Committee in 2015. The updated policy has been endorsed by the 2015 Global Forum for Responsible Management Education – 6th Annual Assembly in the Outcomes Declaration.
In order to maintain a "communicating" status within the PRME community, a signatory must fulfil the following requirements:
*In response to the PRME community's growing support to advance impact assessment efforts among signatories, the PRME Secretariat—with endorsement by the 2015 Global Forum for Responsible Management Education—has implemented this new policy requirement. We understand that a variety of ways to assess impact exist and that no one method is appropriate for all signatories. As PRME strives to serve as a platform for higher education institutions to learn from one another and continuously improve, we encourage signatories and regional PRME Chapters to explore different methods and embrace those that meet their institutional goals and local needs. Approaches to impact assessment will be further explored at upcoming PRME Regional Meetings and PRME Global Fora.
In order to maintain the integrity of the initiative, signatories that are listed as "non-communicating" for more than one year will be delisted from the PRME initiative. The names of delisted signatories are publicly listed on the PRME website, in the PRME newsletter, and in our annual report.
Signatories that have been delisted are eligible to re-join PRME by completing a new SIP report. After receiving the SIP report, the PRME Secretariat will re-activate the signatory account.
In case of a delay in SIP submission, signatories may request a grace period of up to 90 days from the SIP deadline by submitting a Grace Letter on the PRME website, providing a reasonable explanation for the delay and stating the date by which the SIP will be submitted. Any grace period granted will reset the SIP deadline (e.g. if the original SIP deadline is 1 January 2015, the extended SIP deadline will be 31 March 2015. If the SIP is submitted on 31 March 2015, the next SIP deadline will be 30 March 2017). If the signatory fails to submit an SIP by the extended deadline, they will be designated as "non-communicating."
