ABSTRACT
Since 2000 and the launch of the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC), there has been a growing acceptance that people need to view business as a force for good through a broader lens. The UNGC’s sister initiative, the Principles for Responsible Management Education (PRME) is a key vehicle for advancing the mission. Through its network of over 800 business and management schools, PRME galvanizes its members to commit to integrating six principles of responsible management into their research, education, and leadership. Since its creation by the UNGC in 2007, PRME has been an integral part of changing the mindset of companies through its education on the ten UNGC principles and more recently, the 17 Sustainable Development Goals. In relationship to the latter point, PRME has three fundamental roles to play in advancing the broader view of business as a force for good. These include: Advocacy, Collaboration with the UNGC, and Knowledge exchange.
