PRME -- SUMMARY What is it? The Principles for Responsible Management Education (PRME) initiative was launched in in 2007 as an initiative of six academic institutions (including AACSB International) and the United Nations Global Compact. The principles were created by an international taskforce of 60 deans, university presidents and official representatives of leading business schools and academic institutions. It is proposed that the CBPA become a signatory to PRME.

BACKGROUND What Value does PRME Create for our Students? PRME seeks to establish a process of continuous improvement among institutions of management education in order to develop in our students, a new generation of business leaders. PRME's mission is to inspire and champion ethical and responsible management education, research, and thought for global leadership that takes into account the Triple Bottom Line of people, the planet and profits.

COMMITMENT BY CBPA & CSUSB Signalling our Commitment: By making a commitment to adopt the principles, the College of Business and Public Administration (CBPA) and California State University at San Bernardino (CSUSB) would be signalling their intent to continue to integrate sustainability values into our curriculum, research and community engagement activities, wherever it makes sense to do so.

ENDORSEMENT OF PRINCIPLES Our Affinity Groups Endorse PRME: The principles are endorsed by AACSB and are consistent with the continuous improvement in management education expected of AACSB-endorsed institutions. AACSB sponsors an ‘affinity group’ of representatives from AACSB accredited institutions to support the initiative.

Principle 6 Dialogue: We will facilitate and support dialogue and debate among educators, business, government, consumers, media, civil society organizations and other interested groups and stakeholders on critical issues related to global social responsibility and sustainability.
