Global Responsibility – Issue 1- June 2009

Global Responsibility – Issue 1 (June 2009) is the inaugural magazine of the Globally Responsible Leadership Initiative (GRLI), a partnership dedicated to developing the next generation of globally responsible leaders. Produced by the GRLI Foundation in Brussels, this publication showcases emerging practices and initiatives within the global GRLI network, featuring contributions from leading business schools, corporations, and management educators.

The magazine documents GRLI's progress since its 2005 Call for Engagement, presenting case studies and practical examples of responsible leadership development. Articles address in-company workshops, Communities of Responsible Action (CoRAs), the involvement of students and young managers as GRLI Ambassadors, and the organization's work implementing the UN Global Compact's Principles for Responsible Management Education (PRME). Historical reflections trace EFMD's longstanding commitment to integrating ethics and social responsibility into management education, while contemporary pieces explore how business schools and corporations can collaborate to prepare leaders who balance economic performance with societal responsiveness. The publication reflects GRLI's three guiding principles: result orientation, long-term effects, and uniqueness, positioning the organization as an advanced laboratory for responsible management education practices.
