Abstract
As well as UN Global Compact signatories are invited to adopt corporate social responsibility, the UN Principles for Responsible Management Education (PRME) encourage educational institutions to implement sustainability in their programs, promoting the development of globally responsible leaders. Aiming to collaborate to this network, this study investigates an example of how to implement the PRME and the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development in the school curricula by describing the methodology developed by Brazilian business school ISAE - Higher Institute of Administration and Economics. Structured from the perspective of transdisciplinary education, the subject of Sustainability in Organizations encourages research, provides discussions in the classroom and stimulates collective knowledge by integrating students to the corporate world - enabling the construction of knowledge in a practical and transformative way. As a result, students obtain a high degree of involvement, increasing awareness on their role in society and participation as protagonists of the changes the world needs.
