Principles for Management of Responsible Education (PRME)
Birmingham Business School became signatory to the United Nations Principles for Responsible Business Management (PRME) in 2017. The aim of PRME is to raise the profile of sustainability and equip today’s business and management students with the skills and knowledge to manage the challenges these bring in the future.
Our commitment to PRME continues, and its principles play a highly important role in the School’s mission to promote curiosity and thought leadership for responsible business across all of our world-class teaching and research activities.
