IEDC-Bled School of Management
Description/achievement of initiative

Bled School of Management is deeply committed to developing leaders for a better world and believes in ethical and socially responsible leadership which can be promoted through learning from art, science, sport and other professions, drawing parallels around them and making people reflect. Management of social, environmental, and ethical risks and opportunities has been a required element of our Executive MBA programs for several years (IEDC has designed an ethics component into all its longer management programs more than twenty years ago and as an additional innovation, sustainable development was added to the curriculum in 2008). Since 2007, IEDC has been also the headquarters of the UN Global Compact Slovenia, the Slovenian chapter in the UN Global Compact.

Implementation methodologies
