Embedding Responsible Management Education (RME): Tools for Faculty, Staff, and Administrators
70 million business, management, law, and economics graduates each year—the largest field of study worldwide.
Today’s business leaders are falling short of society’s needs, while education models still measure success by outdated metrics. Without change, the gap between what the world demands and what graduates can deliver will only widen.
Faculty, staff, and administrators have the power to close this gap. Embedding responsible management education (RME) is not a trend—it is a strategic imperative to prepare leaders who act with purpose, values, and long-term impact. By integrating responsibility into business and management education, future leaders can balance economic success with ethical, social, and environmental stewardship.
This Toolkit for Faculty, Staff, and Administrators has been designed to support business and management higher education institutions in embedding RME into their teaching, research, operations, and partnerships. It provides:
- A clear definition and framework for RME aligned with global standards.
- Data-driven insights on student demand, employer expectations, and accreditation trends.
- Practical tools for integrating sustainability and ethics into teaching, research, and operations.
- Conversation starters, case examples, and templates to support institutional change.
By downloading this Toolkit, you join a global movement of educators and administrators dedicated to ensuring that tomorrow’s leaders can create long-term societal value while sustaining organizational performance.
