ABSTRACT

On the morning of 5 August 2020, five academics met to celebrate sunrise. These academics are members of the Principles for Responsible Management Education (PRME) Working Group on the Sustainability Mindset and were continuing with the seven-year–long tradition to hold a face-to-face retreat prior the start of the yearly Academy of Management Conference. In the year 2015, a group of academic members of a community of practice focused on the sustainability mindset became the PRME Working Group on the Sustainability Mindset. PRME Working Group on the Sustainability Mindset makes annual submissions to the Academy of Management. In addition to paper sessions, symposia and panels, large number of members sign up to participate as joint presenters in a Professional Development Workshop, hosted by various divisions of the Academy. Coverage by local and social media is another powerful way to further the shift to a sustainability mindset.
