Remarks:

This survey, Principles of Responsible Management Education (PRME), is an initiative of the UN and of the Association to Advance Collegiate School of Business (AACSB), to assess the programs of business schools in developing current and future managers, and their willingness to integrate sustainability and CSR into mainstream business related education and to implement the six principles relating to purpose, values, method, research, partnership and dialogue.
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is defined as “the responsibility of enterprises for their impacts on society”. To fully meet their social responsibility, enterprises “should have in place a process to integrate social, environmental, ethical human rights and consumer concerns into their business operations and core strategy in close collaboration with their stakeholders”.
