Abstract
The purpose of this paper is verifying, in the PRME (Principles for Responsible Management Education) educational signatory institutions, how the information related to ethics and sustainability are addressed and disseminated. For that, a documentary analysis of three Brazilian institutions (designated as “A”, “B” and “C”) were carried out through materials available on their websites, codes of ethics and reports sent to the PRME platform. The result was that the three institutions disseminate information differently from each other, just as the reports sent to the PRME platform between 2009 and 2018 do not have a specific standard. It was verified that those institutions need to evaluate the availability and connection of information related to ethics and sustainability among all organizations in order to show commitment to sustainable development. It was concluded that it would only be possible to achieve the established objectives by the PRME if the Institutions assume more effectively the principles in a truly responsible executive education. It was also concluded that both in PRME (chapter Brazil) and in the researched institutions, it is necessary for organizations to observe and evaluate how the availability and connection between information related to ethics and sustainability are being presented.
