UN PRME and UQ Business School

UQ Business School is a proud supporter and Advanced Signatory of the United Nations Principles for Responsible Management Education (UN PRME).

PRME is an initiative of the United Nations Global Compact founded in 2007 as a platform to encourage and increase awareness and integration of sustainability in business schools around the world.

Today, PRME is the largest coordinated effort between the world’s business schools and the United Nations. UQ Business School became a PRME signatory in 2015. As a school, we understand the privilege and responsibility of providing quality education that gives learners the knowledge and tools they need to succeed, change lives and transform societies.

UQ Carbon Literacy Program - an Australian first

 

Carbon Literate Organisation Bronze

UQ Business School partnered with the Carbon Literacy Project in 2021 as part of its commitment to the United Nations Principles for Responsible Management Education (UN PRME), becoming the first university in Australia to launch a Carbon Literacy Program. The course taught participants the science of climate change, climate-related issues of social equity, and how individuals and organisations can take action. In 2022, the UQ Carbon Literacy Program took out the top prize in the Next Generation Learning and Skills category at the 2022 Australasian Green Gown Awards.

Through generous support from the Australian Business Deans Council, we are offering Carbon Literacy Training (CLT) through an accelerated 8-hour program delivered online and across Australia and New Zealand by certified Carbon Literacy Trainers.
