In this chapter, we present the history of the PRME Champions group, the reasons for joining it, and its members’ outlook on how to achieve collective impact. We conducted interviews with six PRME Champions and one member of the PRME Secretariat (also a co-author of this text) . This chapter expresses the interviewees’ collective view on the benefits and outcomes of the program. Through a series of two-year cycles, the PRME Champions group aims to foster collaboration between the most engaged Signatories across the PRME community. As a result of this collective learning and action, PRME Champions have created tools that document their shared learning outcomes and guide other business schools on their journey to integrating the SDGs into curricula, research, and partnerships. Recently, the Champions group has begun to explore how it can further increase its collective impact.
