PRME Principles for Responsible Management Education

Since 2014 Danube Business School has been a member of the PRME initiative launched by the United Nations. As institutions of higher education involved in the development of current and future managers we declare our willingness to progress in the implementation, within our institution, of the following principles, starting with those that are more relevant to our capacities and mission. We will report on progress to all our stakeholders and exchange effective practices related to these principles with other academic institutions: 

Principle 1
Purpose: We will develop the capabilities of students to be future generators of sustainable value for business and society at large and to work for an inclusive and sustainable global economy.

Principle 2
Values: We will incorporate into our academic activities and curricula the values of global social responsibility as portrayed in international initiatives such as the United Nations Global Compact.

Principle 3
Method: We will create educational frameworks, materials, processes and environments that enable effective learning experiences for responsible leadership.

Principle 4
Research: We will engage in conceptual and empirical research that advances our understanding about the role, dynamics, and impact of corporations in the creation of sustainable social, environmental and economic value.

Principle 5
Partnership: We will interact with managers of business corporations to extend our knowledge of their challenges in meeting social and environmental responsibilities and to explore jointly effective approaches to meeting these challenges.

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

PRME DACH CHAPTER

In February 2014 Universities and educational establishments from Germany, Austria and Switzerland launched the PRME DACH Chapter. With its membership Danube Business School committed itself to be part of and further develop standards for responsible management education, in German-speaking countries as well as in Europe.

„The Principles for Responsible Management Education have the capacity to take the case for universal values and business into classrooms on every continent.“
