RSM’s series on Positive Change aims to inform managers about opportunities for business to contribute to positive change by presenting new frameworks that inspire.

It is our conviction that business can and should play an instrumental role in addressing the world’s big challenges in order to create prosperity for all. RSM aims to educate a new generation of change agents with the knowledge, skills, values and attitudes to make a difference in the world, using as guidance the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The SDGs, agreed by world leaders in 2015, set out a framework through which the most urgent social, economic and environmental challenges can be addressed. They are neutral, non-political and provide an internationally recognised point of reference for us to ensure that what we do – through our research, our education programmes, and through our engagement with society – is relevant, meaningful, and has real impact.
