IBLF participating in the PRME anticorruption working group

Head of IBLF Branch Office in Russia Boris Tkachenko and IBLF Senior Consultant Polina Kalnitskaya took part in the meeting of the anticorruption working group within the framework of the international project called Principles for Responsible Management Education (PRME) at Humboldt-Viadrina School of Governance in Berlin.

Principles for Responsible Management Education (PRME) is the project developed for the last two years under the auspices of the United Nations Organization aiming at the implementation of the UN Global Compact.

Early in July, the German capital welcomed experts from 12 countries who are engaged in the introduction in their business schools and universities of various courses on anticorruption, business ethics and business sustainability management elaborated by PRME.

The meeting of the anticorruption working group set the stage for the project second phase which will lead to the creation of PRME Anticorruption Centers in various countries. Those Centers, in turn, will institutionally involve local experts, non-profit organizations and academia in the development of the national principles of responsible management education. This approach, which takes into account the specific features of education in each particular country, has been chosen by the organizers in order to ensure widespread dissemination of their study programs.

Working in a single team of professionals from the world’s most developed nations were the Russian IBLF experts Boris Tkachenko and Polina Kalnitskaya.
