As educators and researchers, our role is critical to nurturing graduates and shaping leaders that can adapt to changing environments and deliver organisational and societal change.
Responsible Leadership for a Global World ‘to not be responsible is not to be effective as a leader’.
With a vision to Shape Leaders for a Sustainable Future, CUBS is a leader in UCC’s continued efforts in embedding ethics, responsibility and sustainability within our research, teaching and operations.
Themes of Ethics, Responsibility & Sustainability (ERS) are a key component of CUBS, from the principles established in our strategy to programme delivery, research and the broader student development.
PRME is a key initiative for CUBS in furthering our ambition of embedding the principles of responsible leadership and sustainability increasingly at the heart of all that we do in our research, programmes and operations.
The PRME Champions represent a group of dedicated business and management schools from across the PRME community that are committed to working collaboratively to develop and promote activities that address shared barriers for the PRME community, and which deliver value for business and society at large.
UCC Futures enables a dynamic enhancement of research, support of innovation and translation of research to tangible solutions to address emerging societal needs and global grand challenges.
Our strategic research agenda in CUBS is directly aligned with UCC Futures’ aim to produce impactful research that will support our society to thrive and to secure a sustainable future for all.
Shared objective of creating a sustainability culture that is student-led, research-informed, and practice-focused.
Building on UCC’s Graduate Attributes Programme, CUBS Leaders of Tomorrow is an initiative that formally recognises the impact of students beyond academic grades. Open to all undergraduate and postgraduate taught programmes, Leaders of Tomorrow enables students to articulate a complete picture of their impact during their time in CUBS.
CUBS has also established an ERS Committee to lead the school’s ERS ambition and promote a culture of learning, research and continuous improvement. Through our positive engagement with PRME and by aligning our practices with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the ERS committee works to integrate these values into all aspects of the school's strategic priorities, ensuring that they shape decision-making, stakeholder engagement, and the long-term impact of CUBS on society and the environment.
