Principles for Responsible Management Education (PRME)

Our PRME strategy aligns with the School’s vision, mission and strategic objectives. In particular, we are pursuing the objective of achieving influence in building a responsible future for business and society. We are creating opportunity for our stakeholders to contribute to this future.

We are striving to develop interdisciplinary collaborations. These collaborations anticipate and shape new opportunities and forms of organisation, new ways of working, and new roles our graduates could play to promote an ethical, responsible and sustainable society. We focus on innovativeness, creativity, and the ability to make a difference.

Our PRME Strategy is founded on three pillars:

  • education for systemic responsibility
  • leading in research at the ethical frontier
  • engagement with the community, value for the community
