IACA this week further underlined its commitment to help achieve the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by joining the UN-backed Principles for Responsible Management Education (PRME) initiative.

As a signatory to the PRME’s Six Principles, IACA joins over 650 leading business and management schools from more than 80 countries that have pledged to advance values such as sustainability, responsibility, and ethics in teaching, research, and thought leadership.

The PRME initiative was founded in 2007 and is supported by the UN Global Compact. It aims to realize the SDGs through responsible management education and to raise the profile of sustainability in schools around the world.

IACA has repeatedly emphasized the need to strengthen global anti-corruption efforts in order to fulfil the UN’s 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development with its 17 SDGs. The latter include Goal 16 with its target to “substantially reduce corruption and bribery in all its forms”.
