“…Godemann et al (2014) proposed a methodology to explore a similar voluntary initiative and we use the structure of that paper while noting that this is the first academic study, as far as we are aware, of the effectiveness of a M A N U S C R I P T A C C E P T E D ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT 6 voluntary insurance initiative and as such provides a useful contribution to scientific knowledge. Godemann et al (2014) propose examining in detail the self-reported responses to a voluntary initiative. In particular, Godemann et al (2014) outline a voluntary initiative which covers business schools, notably the United Nations Principles for Responsible Management Education (PRME), and structure the analysis in their paper as follows.…”

“…Initially they outline the purpose and mission of a specific voluntary action and clearly outline the principles and process of PRME. They then go on to describe the progress of PRME by drawing on the self-presentations made by PRME members through the Sharing Information on Progress reports (Godemann et al, 2014). They use the statistics as reported against PRME alongside other literature to assess progress.…”

“…Increasingly voluntary principles have been adopted by business led groups such as the Principles for Responsible Investment, the Equator Principles and the United Nations Principles for Sustainable Agriculture. Indeed academia has also responded by supporting voluntary initiatives such as the Rio+20 Deceleration on Higher Education and the United Nations Principles for Responsible Management Education (Godemann et al, 2014).…”

Voluntary business engagement in climate change: A study of the ClimateWise principles

There is an expectation that the insurance sector should be leading business efforts in responding to climate change due to their inherent exposure to increasing risks. However, insurance companies normally operate on a one year time horizonunderwriting risks through policies which change each year to reflect new knowledge of these risks. The ClimateWise principles is a voluntary initiative of the insurance sector that was launched in 2007 to provide a basis for insurance companies to engage with climate change risks. This paper introduces the ClimateWise initiative and explores progress made since its launch. The paper presents new knowledge on whether this voluntary initiative provides a useful structure for the insurance sector in responding to the challenge of climate change. It finds that while the insurance sector has engaged with climate change, there is much more to do and we welcome the recent changes to ClimateWise that more accurately reflect this. The paper concludes that ClimateWise has been a useful initiative for the insurance companies and as a potential benchmark for the sector it offers some value. However, ClimateWise has not provided a strong enough engagement across the sector to embed climate action into business decisions.

Business education and its paradoxes: Linking business and biodiversity through critical pedagogy curriculum

The Kunming‐Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, launched during the United Nations Biodiversity Conference in December 2022, encourages governments, companies and investors to publish data on their nature‐related risks, dependencies and impacts. These disclosures are intended to drive businesses to recognise, manage and mitigate their reliance on ecosystem goods and services. However, there is a ‘biodiversity blind spot’ that is evident for most organisations and business schools. Business education rarely addresses the root causes of biodiversity loss, such as the unsustainable exploitation of natural resources. As the dominant positioning of Education for Sustainable Development Goals (ESDG) presents biodiversity in anthropocentric instrumental terms inadequate for addressing ecosystem decline, we posit that a more progressive and transformative ecocentric education through ecopedagogy and ecoliteracy is needed. Both approaches include the development of critical thinking about degrowth, the circular economy and conventional stakeholder theory to include non‐human stakeholders. Using comparative case studies from Northumbria University, the University of Hong Kong and Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences, we illustrate how business education can be transformed to address biodiversity loss, providing theoretical guidance and practical recommendations to academic practitioners and future business leaders.

Unlocking the potential of responsible management education through interdisciplinary approaches

Business schools are crucial to integrating sustainable development into management thought and practices, thereby promoting a paradigm shift toward responsible management education. Despite many business schools pledging to adopt the United Nations' Principles for Responsible Management Education, they have been criticized for failing to develop change agents toward sustainability. To fill this gap, this paper demonstrates how interdisciplinarity can be connected to responsible management education through critical and instrumental perspectives. To this end, we apply an interdisciplinarity model to 37 Principles for Responsible Management Education Schools' Reports, using content analysis, text‐mining, and network theory tools. As a result, our findings suggest: (i) a taxonomy of critical and instrumental interdisciplinary studies and (ii) a framework of Principles for Responsible Management Education schools engaged in critical and instrumental interdisciplinarity. The framework we develop can serve as a diagnostic and prognostic tool for assessing how interdisciplinary can improve responsible management education in business schools. Our findings contribute to theory advancing research on the intersection of responsible management education and interdisciplinary approaches.
