BSC Releases 2017 – 19 PRME Impact Report

As part of our vision to advance business and society, Poole College has adopted the Principles for Responsible Management Education. PRME provides a framework for institutions of higher education worldwide to inspire and champion responsible management education, research, and thought leadership. As a signatory school, Poole College is part of an international network of institutions committed to building a sustainable global economy.

PRME is a UN Global Compact- backed initiative with the mission to inspire and champion responsible management by bridging relationships and catalyzing collaboration among the United Nations, the Global Compact, and academia. The Six Principles of PRME are based on internationally-accepted values endorsed by UN Member States and provide an engagement framework for higher education institutions to embed responsibility and sustainability in education, research, and campus practices through a process of continuous improvement.

Poole College has just released a progress report that offers a snapshot of sustainability initiatives over the past two years – and how far it has progressed in reaching its sustainability goals. Activities span everything from major events, high-profile research projects, partnerships to curriculum changes. Each of the initiative’s 650 signatory members – top business and management schools around the world – issues such a report every two years documenting their progress in implementing the six PRME principles.
