The Earth Matters to the School of Business

On this day and every day, the earth matters to the School of Business

The School of Business is dedicated to promoting and implementing sustainability, ethics, and responsibility. To further our goals, we have been a signatory of The Principles for Responsible Management Education (PRME) since 2014 and we have recently shared our updated 2021 – 2023 goals with the PRME community.

“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. Working through Six Principles, PRME engages business and management schools to ensure they provide future leaders with the skills needed to balance economic and sustainability goals while drawing attention to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and aligning academic institutions with the work of the UN Global Compact.” – https://www.unprme.org/about

We as a school continue to incorporate the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and our own goals regarding integrity, accountability, and sustainability into our organizational practices, research, curriculum, and student engagement activities. Our primary goal is to develop the future managers of tomorrow, and in this process, we remain committed to ensuring they are prepared to handle the wellbeing of the planet within their business decisions.
