Católica Porto Business School is a proud member of the United Nations-supported Principles for Responsible Management Education (PRME) since November 2018. PRME aims to transform management education, research, and thought leadership globally through innovative educational frameworks, deep learning communities, and by raising awareness of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
As a School focused on the development of business professionals for a global, sustainable and ethical society, CPBS is committed to the implementation of PRME's six Principles.
Principle 1 | Purpose: We will develop the capabilities of students to be future generators of sustainable value for business and society at large and to work for an inclusive and sustainable global economy.
Principle 2 | Values: We will incorporate into our academic activities, curricula, and organisational practices the values of global social responsibility as portrayed in international initiatives such as the United Nations Global Compact.
Principle 3 | Method: We will create educational frameworks, materials, processes and environments that enable effective learning experiences for responsible leadership.
Principle 4 | Research: We will engage in conceptual and empirical research that advances our understanding about the role, dynamics, and impact of corporations in the creation of sustainable social, environmental and economic value.
Principle 5 | Partnerships: We will interact with managers of business corporations to extend our knowledge of their challenges in meeting social and environmental responsibilities and to explore jointly effective approaches to meeting these challenges.
Principle 6 | Dialogue: We will facilitate and support dialog and debate among educators, students, business, government, consumers, media, civil society organisations and other interested groups and stakeholders on critical issues related to global social responsibility and sustainability.
We are delighted to share the progress we have made towards achieving these principles over the last years, in our PRME Sharing Information on Progress REPORT.
