We believe that schools of business should nurture students to become socially responsible managers, leaders, and entrepreneurs. Therefore, along with many forward-thinking international universities all around the globe, we are committed to the Principles of Responsible Management Education (PRME), an initiative of the United Nations Global Compact to promote awareness about the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals.
Joining the movement to achieve the UN Global Agenda of Sustainable Development Goals, SBM ITB became an advanced signatory of PRME (Principles for Responsible Management Education)
PRME seek to establish a process of continuous improvement among institutions of management education in order to develop a new generation of business leaders capable of managing complex challenges faced by business and society in the 21st century.
