Our Philosophy

We believe that academic institutions play a very important role in raising awareness, promoting, enriching and supporting corporate social responsibility. Therefore, we believe that ALBA can make a difference in this role.  We see this role as two-fold:

• To be a catalyst in the understanding and implementation of corporate social responsibility, through 
  -  knowledge dissemination (education and training),
  -  knowledge creation (research) and 
  -  leading by example (our own culture and practices),
   
• To create links of cooperation between different social partners, such as companies, public authorities and other stakeholders.
  
  

Participation

This commitment to social responsibility is demonstrated though the participation of the school in organizations aiming to promote, enhance and facilitate social responsibility.  In particular, ALBA

• Was the first Greek Business School to become a participant of the United Nations Principles for Responsible Management Education (PRME) in December 2009.
  
  In this context, we repeat our commitment to the UN PRME:  “As institutions of higher learning involved in the education of current and future managers we are voluntarily committed to engaging in a continuous process of improvement of the [PRME] Principles and their application, reporting on progress to all our stakeholders and exchanging effective practices with other academic institutions.
