Principles for Responsible Management Education
IRSA supports business schools in meeting their PRME reporting obligations through research, educational content, and partnership opportunities.
Purpose
Develop capabilities of students to be future generators of sustainable value
Our research provides frameworks for understanding long-horizon value creation
Values
Incorporate values of global social responsibility into curricula
PSC and RCT embed social responsibility into capital structure, not just culture
Method
Create educational frameworks that enable effective learning experiences
Re:School translates theory into practitioner education and executive programs
Research
Engage in research that advances understanding of sustainable value
46 working papers advancing regenerative capital theory and practice
Partnership
Interact with managers to extend knowledge of sustainability challenges
Pilots with community banks, health systems, and local governments
Dialogue
Facilitate dialogue on critical issues related to sustainability
Open-access research, explainers, and interactive dashboards
