Commitment to the UN’s Principles for Responsible Management Education

Charles Sturt’s School of Management and Marketing has been a member of the Principles for Responsible Management Education (PRME) initiative since 2015. The PRME is a platform to raise the profile of sustainability in schools around the world and provides students with the skills to balance economic and sustainability goals. The initiative draws heavily on the UN Sustainable Development Goals by aligning institutions with the work of the UN Global Compact.

Charles Sturt integrates sustainability, ethics, global citizenship, Indigenous cultural competency and inclusivity into many subjects taught across our School of Management and Marketing.

In 2021, our School of Business provided their third ‘Sharing Information on Progress’ report to PRME, showcasing how the school embeds the principles of responsible management at Charles Sturt.

Key highlights from the 2021 report include:

• community-based group work in several subjects, including MGT540, HRM528, HRM550 and HRM512 building collaboration, communication, and transparency skills
• deconstructing dominant leadership paradigms, towards positive, distributed and sustainable models of leadership, and focusing on organisational impact and purpose in the Masters of Social and Organisational Leadership.
• a community sustainability project to build a native community garden for pollinators on the Bathurst campus.
