The Principles for Responsible Management Education (PRME) is a United Nations-supported initiative founded in 2007 as a platform to raise the profile of sustainability in schools around the world. PRME equips today’s business students with the understanding and ability to deliver change tomorrow. With the vision to create a global movement and drive thought leadership on responsible management education and the mission to transform management education and develop the responsible decision-makers of tomorrow to advance sustainable development, PRME works closely with the UN Global Compact to have management schools and businesses collaborate on common aspirations and create collective impact. The Faculty of Business and Economics, University of Zagreb joined the initiative as a signatory and is committing to PRME’s six principles:
1. PURPOSE
We will develop the capabilities of students to be future generators of sustainable value for business and society at large and to work for an inclusive and sustainable global economy.
2. VALUES
We will incorporate into our academic activities, curricula, and organisational practices the values of global social responsibility as portrayed in international initiatives such as the United Nations Global Compact.
3. METHOD
We will create educational frameworks, materials, processes, and environments that enable effective learning experiences for responsible leadership
4. RESEARCH
We will engage in conceptual and empirical research that advances our understanding about the role, dynamics, and impact of corporations in the creation of sustainable social, environmental, and economic value.
5. PARTNERSHIP
We will interact with managers of business corporations to extend our knowledge of their challenges in meeting social and environmental responsibilities and to explore jointly effective approaches to meeting these challenges.
6. DIALOGUE
We will facilitate and support dialog and debate among educators, students, businesses, government, consumers, media, civil society organisations, and other interested groups and stakeholders on critical issues related to global social responsibility and sustainability.
