At a time of global disruption, uncertainty and suffering the PRME Chapter UK and Ireland nonetheless draws hope from being able to announce the winners of its fourth annual Responsible Business and Management Writing Competition.

 

Dr Alec Wersun, Chapter Chair, has called on all in the Chapter to “celebrate the variety and quality of the entries exploring the significance of the Sustainable Development Goals, the urgent nature of which could not be clearer in these pandemic times”.

 

On behalf of the organisers, Chris Blackburn, Pro Vice-Chancellor and Dean of the Oxford Brookes Business School, has highlighted the “creativity, research skills and insights that were evident not only in the work of prize winners but also in that of other finalists and entrants across the board”. He also expressed “our heartfelt appreciation to staff and students who encouraged the 82 entries from 19 institutions” and noted that “while, sadly, not everyone can be a prize winner the fact that so many business schools took part means that our planet might yet prove to be a winner in our current race against time”.
