SASKATOON — The Edwards School of Business (Edwards) at the University of Saskatchewan (USask) has become the latest institution to commit to the United Nations’ Principles for Responsible Management Education (PRME), joining a growing global movement aimed at fostering sustainable growth and responsible leadership in business education.

By becoming a signatory member of PRME, Edwards aligns itself with over 800 leading institutions worldwide that are dedicated to promoting ethical business practices, sustainability, and social responsibility. This partnership underscores Edwards ongoing commitment to be the university the world needs by incorporating the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) into its curriculum. PRME membership is aligned with Edwards mission and strategy of enabling its learners to “become socially conscious professionals.”

"We are thrilled to join the global network of PRME signatories," said Dr. Marjorie Delbaere (PhD), acting dean of Edwards. “This commitment reflects a growing recognition of the need for business schools to equip future leaders with the tools and mindset required to address the complex challenges businesses face today, balancing economic, social, and environmental considerations.”

Faculty at Edwards are actively advancing this vision, embedding sustainability and ethical leadership into both the curriculum and their research.

“I’m proud to be part of a business school that is committed to 小蓝视频 at the forefront of educating responsible business leaders,” said Professor Norman Sheehan and USask Sustainability Fellow. “Our work ensures that students graduate not only with business expertise, but also with a strong ethical foundation to guide their decisions in an increasingly complex world.”

PRME is designed to engage business and management schools in preparing future leaders with the skills needed to balance economic and sustainability goals, while drawing attention to the SDGs and aligning academic institutions with the work of the UN Global Compact.

Through PRME, signatory schools like Edwards will have access to resources that enhance curriculum development, pedagogical innovation, and skill set building. Additionally, they will report on their sustainability progress and share best practices on global platforms.

As the largest and most influential partnership between the United Nations and higher education institutions focused on management, PRME continues to shape the future of business education. Edwards involvement further solidifies its position as a leader in preparing students to thrive in a rapidly evolving global business environment.

As part of a global network of PRME signatories, Edwards will continue to collaborate with leading institutions, share best practices, and drive innovation in responsible management education.
