School of Management and Law is a PRME Champion
The ZHAW School of Management and Law has once again been named a champion for the period 2026-2027 by PRME (Principles for Responsible Management Education). A total of 50 PRME members worldwide were selected for the "Champions Cohort" based on their commitment to promoting responsible management education.
PRME Champions are regarded as pioneers within the PRME community. Each champion institution has a strong track record of innovation, collaboration, and influence in driving significant changes in the areas of curriculum, research, partnerships, and institutional practice, according to PRME officials.
Focus areas and activities of the PRME Champions 2026/2027
Over the next two years (2026/2027), the group will work on several self-selected focus areas to advance the principles of PRME and the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations. One goal is to strengthen responsible management education worldwide, in line with the United Nations Global Compact vision and the 2030 Agenda. The program includes a number of interactive events and online webinars as well as a dedicated online area for PRME Champion members to collaborate.
"Through online and face-to-face meetings, the SML will collaborate with PRME Champion business schools from around the world and on all continents to build and share knowledge for the advancement of responsible management education in teaching, research, and practice."
