GCU PRME Champions Output: PRME Blueprint for SDG Integration

Since 2013, GCU has been a designated “PRME Champion” Institution. The mission of the PRME Champions group, made up of some 40 business schools worldwide, is to contribute to thought and action leadership on responsible management education in the context of the United Nations sustainable development agenda.

In so doing, PRME Champions commit to:

The work of PRME Champions is organised in a series of two-year cycles, during which time its members participate in workshops and online working to produce resources for use by the global PRME community. Responding to calls for a practical, step-by-step guide on how to integrate the SDGs in to the curriculum, research, and partnerships, GCU’s Alec Wersun led a team of seven Champion Schools in producing the Blueprint for SDG Integration. The Blueprint has been downloaded thousands of times, and is being used by business schools around the world, as a guide on how to undertake this strategic task.

Reporting on Progress to the United Nations

Signatories to the United Nations PRME initiative are required to submit a bi-annual report to the United Nations, in which they restate their commitment to implement the Principles in to all educational activities, campus operations, and external engagement. The name of this report is a Sharing Information on Progress (SIP) report.  GCU uses the SIP Report as a means of demonstrating to internal and external stakeholders its commitment and actions in support of sustainable development.  Reading the various SIP Reports allows stakeholders to chart the University’s progress in implementing the Six Principles, and efforts to contribute to achievement of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
