Mission of United Nations-backed PRME is to champion responsible management education

Goa Institute of Management (GIM) will host the United Nations-supported Principles for Responsible Management Education (PRME) Asia Forum on November 27 and 28 in Panaji. The event will be preceded by a workshop on teaching responsible management on November 26.

The mission of United Nations-backed PRME is to inspire and champion responsible management education, research and thought leadership globally.

The forum will be a unique opportunity for GIM to participate in the movement towards realising the UN’s vision of a sustainable world. Keeping the growth of Asian economies in mind, the forum aims to draw attention to the role of Asian business and business schools in advancing responsible management education, and implementing the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

The forum will also share what Asian business schools are doing to integrate a concern for society and environment into their strategies.

Representatives of universities in Asia such as De La Salle University, Philippines; Tsinghua University, China; Keio University, Japan; Babson College, USA and the University of Auckland, New Zealand will be attending the forum. B-Schools in India including IIM Ahmedabad, MDI Gurgaon, SP Jain Institute of Management and Research, XLRI, Jamshedpur, and XIM, Bhubaneswar will be attending the conference.
