ABSTRACT

This chapter argues that an effective sustainability curriculum needs to integrate the other UN Global Compact Principles with the Tenth Principle on Anti-Corruption. It also provides a way forward for implementation of an integrated sustainability curriculum by focusing on various linkages and relationships between sustainability subjects. The UN Global Compact has Ten Principles to advance critical issues such as sustainable energy, food and water, women's empowerment, children's rights, and good governance. The Principles for Responsible Management Education (PRME) has a number of curriculum development and educational programs aimed at mainstreaming sustainability issues in management education. Efforts to integrate UN Global Compact Principles into the management curriculum are already underway with the thematic PRME Working Groups exploring joint research and the creation and publication of books on the topics. The process of integrating all the sustainability issues of human rights, labor, poverty, gender equality, the environment, and governance in the management program curriculum presents both intellectual and institutional challenges.
