Hanken – continued environmental awareness Hanken is aware of its responsibility as Alma Mater of future leaders in the business world; a large part of this responsibility entails creating and maintaining an awareness regarding sustainable development and corporate responsibility among Hanken students. During 2010 Hanken continued the drive for implementing the UN Principles for Responsible Management Education (PRME). Hanken joined the PRME-programme in 2008 and was one of the first universities in the world to publish its second PRME report. In accordance with its environmental awareness plan, Hanken had signed a Green Office agreement with WWF in the autumn of 2009, and in October of 2010 Hanken was awarded the right to use the Green Office label. Reducing the use of paper with 10% and a reduction of 5% in electricity consumption are among Hanken’s environmental goals for 2011.
The Principles for Responsible Management Education are evident in Hanken’s teaching and research. Hanken offers an English-language study module on Corporate Responsibility, while many distinguished researchers in gender studies work within the department for Management and Organization. The HUMLOG Institute, which Hanken founded together with the National Defence University, is located at Hanken. The Institute conducts research and education in humanitarian logistics.
