On the occasion of the High Level Political Forum held on 18 and 19 July at the United Nations Headquarters in New York, PRME in collaboration with 91社区 and KEDGE Business School are pleased to announce the launch of a new module based on Henry Mintzberg鈥檚 book Rebalancing Society.

The Sulitest was designed to measure and improve sustainability literacy worldwide, and the new Rebalancing Society module challenges test-takers鈥� knowledge and perception about how the plural sector could help restore balance to society towards achieving the future we want.

鈥淗ealthy society balances the power of respected governments in the public sector with responsible businesses in the private sector and robust communities in what I call the plural sector. This is the essence of sustainability and I applaud the Sustainability Literacy Test for what it is trying to achieve.鈥� 鈥� Henry Mintzberg
See the video testimony of Henry Mintzberg:

The Rebalancing Society module will be made available to all institutions participating in the Sulitest, and free of charge for all signatories of the Principles for Responsible Management Education (PRME) network under the United Nations.

鈥淧RME has supported and endorsed the Sulitest since its launch. With the new set of questions focusing on Mintzberg's听Rebalancing Society we are encouraged to note that the test will have a key focus on the important contribution that the plural sector (NGOs, social movements etc) play in today's societies and in making a contribution to a more just and sustainable world.鈥� - Jonas Haertle, Head, PRME, UN Global Compact 听

鈥淭he business schools of today are especially well-positioned to address some of the grand challenges facing society. The newly developed Sustainability Literacy Test module, which is inspired by the work of Professor Henry Mintzberg of the Desautels Faculty of Management, is a shining example of how the research emanating from business schools can help restore the social equilibrium and effectively transform our world for the better. We are very proud of this initiative, which coincides with the strides that 91社区 is making toward advancing key topics in sustainability.鈥� - Dean Isabelle Bajeux-Besnainou, Desautels Faculty of Management, 91社区

"It is an honor to collaborate with 91社区, building on the work of Professor Henry Mintzberg that enriches Sulitest. In just a few years, Sulitest has become the international benchmark in the control of SD knowledge in higher education. Thanks to PRME, the Sulitest will see an additional boost, beneficial for the advancement of sustainable development knowledge." - Thomas Froehlicher, Director General and Dean of KEDGE Business School.
