PRME - PRINCIPLES FOR RESPONSIBLE MANAGEMENT EDUCATION

The Principles for Responsible Management Education focuses on making responsible management integral to all education at CBS. Our goal is to develop a new generation of business leaders capable of managing the complex challenges faced by business and society in the 21st century.

CBS has been an active PRME signatory since 2008. In 2013, CBS PRME received the PRME Champion title and has maintained the honourable title until 2023 when it decided to increase focus on the chairmanship of the PRME Nordic Chapter.

Our mission is to be a global PRME leader by making responsible management integral to all education at CBS and part of our organisational identity. Furthermore, we reflect upon how we enact responsible management education and make such practices explicit.

We envision a world where free education implies responsibility towards society. We strive to address and support global, regional and local responsible management, sustainability and social issues through PRME and through the advancement of the 2030 Agenda.
