ABSTRACT

This chapter presents a case study for the expansion and consolidation of the Principles for Responsible Management Education (PRME) in ESPOL-ESPAE Graduate School of Management. It provides an overview of the challenge(s) faced in relation to mainstreaming responsible management, an explanation of the actions taken in relation to the challenge(s), information about the results and benefits of the actions taken, and some points regarding the role of PRME/sustainability principles to carry out the activity. After becoming signatory to PRME in 2007, ESPAE began organising study teams in 2008 composed of diverse and complementary members. The ESPAE Mission states that the school should contribute to the improvement of managerial and business capacity of private, public, and non-profit organisations in Ecuador, as well as their integration into the global economy. Three axes of actions derive from the mission: entrepreneurship, global perspective, and social responsibility.
