Abstract The purpose of this paper is verifying, in the PRME (Principles for
Responsible Management Education) educational signatory institutions, how the
information related to ethics and sustainability are addressed and disseminated. For
that, a documentary analysis of three Brazilian institutions (designated as “A”, “B”
and “C”) were carried out through materials available on their websites, codes of
ethics and reports sent to the PRME platform. The result was that the three institutions disseminate information differently from each other, just as the reports sent
to the PRME platform between 2009 and 2018 do not have a specific standard. It
was verified that those institutions need to evaluate the availability and connection of
information related to ethics and sustainability among all organizations in order to
show commitment to sustainable development. It was concluded that it would only
be possible to achieve the established objectives by the PRME if the Institutions
assume more effectively the principles in a truly responsible executive education. It
was also concluded that both in PRME (chapter Brazil) and in the researched institutions, it is necessary for organizations to observe and evaluate how the availability
and connection between information related to ethics and sustainability are being
presented.
