Sharing progress on how Alliance Manchester Business School is tackling SDGs

In June 2021, Alliance Manchester Business School (AMBS) delivered its first-ever PRME (Principles for Responsible Management Education) Progress Report, since committing to PRME’s Six Principles in 2019.

PRME is a United Nations-supported initiative founded in 2007. Its vision is to realise the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through responsible management education. PRME measures impact through six principles (Purpose, Values, Method, Research, Partnership and Dialogue).

The first-ever PRME Sharing Information on Progress (SIP) Report submitted by the School spotlights the important social responsibility initiatives that AMBS is pioneering across its research and teaching activities, and the impact the School is having locally, regionally, nationally and internationally to make a difference.

In 2019, the School became an advanced signatory of the Principles of Responsible Management Education (PRME), marking a commitment to its social responsibility agenda. Professor Fiona Devine, Head of School said: “One of our core social responsibility goals is to deliver socially responsible management education and we are proud that AMBS has become an advanced signatory of PRME. This report highlights some of our key programmes and initiatives and gives a snapshot of the progress concerning how the Six Principles are applied in AMBS.”

Professor Hongwei He, the School’s Director of Social Responsibility affirms AMB’S committment: “We are fully committed to these principles and will apply them as much as we can in our teaching and research.”
