Developing Sustainability in Business Schools-Best Practices for Implementation of Principles for Responsible Management Education

This study investigates the implementation of the principles for responsible management education (PRME) to promote sustainability in business schools. PRME, an initiative by the United Nations, aims to advance sustainable practices in management education. The research explores the best practices employed by business schools to effectively integrate sustainability principles into their curriculum, research activities, and overall operations. The analysis of exemplary reporting reveals key themes and initiatives presented in assessed reports. Student organizations at the university foster diversity, empowerment, social responsibility, and impactful initiatives, creating an inclusive campus community. Partnerships with external stakeholders are crucial for sustainable development. Integrating business leadership, CSR, ethics, and sustainability courses equips students with skills for responsible practices. Research on sustainable development advances knowledge exchange. Initiatives targeting underrepresented groups promote diversity and education. Recommendations include supporting student organizations, strengthening partnerships, integrating relevant courses, funding research, promoting environmental sustainability, and enhancing communication for transparency and collaboration.
