CSB Named Participant of UN-Backed Initiative
4/8/2008
UST’s Cameron School of Business has been named as one of the first 100 participants of the Principles for Responsible Management Education (PRME), a United Nations-backed global initiative developed to promote corporate responsibility and sustainability in business education.

PRME was launched under the patronage of UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon in July 2007. Institutions participating in the initiative make a commitment to align their mission and strategy, as well as their core competencies with UN values embodied by the six PRME principles—purpose, values, method, research, partnership and dialogue.

“By being named one of the first 100 participants, the Cameron School of Business has taken another major step in positioning the University to achieve its strategic goal of becoming a major Catholic university in the United States within the next two decades,” Dr. Bahman Mirshab, dean of the Cameron School of Business, said.

The initiative encourages curriculum development around the corporate responsibility agenda and research in support of sustainable management systems, as well as public advocacy and opinion leadership to advance responsible business practices.
