Recognized for its commitment to sustainability and responsible management, IILM is one of only 25 business schools globally to receive recognition under the United Nations Principles for Responsible Management Education (PRME).

IILM's journey in responsible management education began with its first international conference, "Responsible Management Education and Practice," in January 2014, marking a significant milestone in its commitment to ethical and sustainable business practices. Over the years, these conferences have evolved, fostering valuable collaborations between industry and academia. In 2025, IILM will host its twelfth international conference on the theme "Driving Innovation for a Sustainable Future: Responsible Management in Action," scheduled for March 6-7, 2025, at IILM University, Greater Noida.

The objective of this initiative is to integrate responsible management principles with innovation-driven strategies to promote sustainable development. The conference theme primarily aligns with Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 9 (Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure) and 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production). IILM University, Greater Noida, invites stakeholders from industry, academia, policymakers, and civil society to engage in discussions on sustainable innovation, corporate responsibility, cross-sector collaboration, and reducing environmental footprints.

In line with its core values, IILM has aligned itself with the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC) Principles for Responsible Management Education (PRME) initiative. This partnership reflects IILM's ongoing efforts to promote responsible management practices across educational institutions and corporate entities in India. The conference will serve as a platform for comprehensive discussions on the alignment between industry, innovation, infrastructure, and responsible consumption and production, as outlined by the United Nations.
