Responsible Management Education

The United Nations’ Principles for Responsible Management Education (PRIME) is a global call to
embed business education in international values such as those portrayed in the Global Compact
framework on Human Rights, Labour, Anti-Corruption and the Environment. This Initiative is an urgent
call to modify business education in light of changing ideas about corporate citizenship, corporate social
responsibility and sustainability. It aims to provide the framework required to adapt management
education to the new after-crisis realities – in terms of curriculum, research and learning methodologies.
The main aim of the PRIME is to 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 value for
business and society at large and to work for an inclusive and sustainable global economy. It encourages
educational institutions and associations to incorporate into academic activities and curricula the values
of global social responsibility.
