Purpose Corruption continues to ravage societies around the world. The fight against corruption can be fruitful only if approached from multiple standpoints. Thus, corruption must also be approached from an academic and educational perspective. The purpose of this paper is to provide a good practice example of how universities and business schools can take actions to align themselves with the international sustainability and anticorruption agenda.
Design/methodology/approach The six principles of the United Nations Principles for Responsible Management Education (PRME) provide a framework for higher education institutions to address corruption-related issues. This paper presents the case story of the Swiss-based University of Applied Sciences HTW Chur, which developed an academic working agenda on corruption-related topics based on the principles of the PRME.
Findings The case story shares the actions that HTW Chur has taken and the benefits that have resulted from the university's work. The findings show that to address corruption-related issues, scholars from the university took actions related to four principles in the PRME: method, research, partnership and dialogue. Furthermore, the results indicate that in addition to the university itself, public and private institutions have also profited from the actions taken.
Research limitations/implications This paper is founded on a single case story; thus, the usual limitations of this research design apply.
Practical implications It becomes apparent that the needs of the private sector in the fight against corruption could be addressed by engaging in and strengthening partnerships with universities. Thus, it seems beneficial to develop guidelines and standards to facilitate collaborations and dialogue in a participatory and transparent way.
Originality/value The paper provides a good practice example of how universities can take actions to align themselves with the international sustainability and anticorruption agenda.

Business schools have been criticized for several things, such as lacking relevance, a too weak ethics orientation, dated paradigms, or commercialization. Simultaneously, there has been much positive change and accelerated dynamics toward forming future-ready companies and graduates. This book outlines how to better understand and master the digital transformation challenge. It is essential that business school deans, program directors, and faculty members embrace new opportunities to bring the UN-backed Principles of Responsible Management Education (PRME) to life successfully. Part of the Humanism in Business series, this book constitutes a valuable resource for leaders in universities and business schools, as well as individual faculty members aspiring to optimize how they respond to digital transformation. It can also be of use to those studying responsible management education, leadership and business ethics more generally.

Wo wir sind, was wir tun und mit wem wir kommunizieren, wird heute routinemässig von zahllosen Geräten erfasst. Dies ist keine gezielte Überwachung, sondern eine inhärente Eigenschaft digitaler Technologie. Zudem können Daten auf immer einfachere Weise gespeichert und mit immer komplexeren Verfahren ausgewertet werden. Die Studie «Ethische Herausforderungen für Unternehmen im Umgang mit Big Data» hat die ethischen Herausforderungen von Big-Data-Anwendungen untersucht und Handlungsempfehlungen für Unternehmen und für Politik formuliert.
