The Principles for Responsible Management Education (PRME)
The Principles for Responsible Management Education (PRME) is a United Nations-supported initiative founded in 2007 as a platform to raise the profile of sustainability in schools around the world, and to equip today's business students with the understanding and ability to deliver change tomorrow.
As a voluntary initiative with over 650 signatories worldwide, PRME has become the largest organised relationship between the United Nations and management-related higher education institutions.
Working through Six Principles, PRME engages business and management schools to ensure they provide future leaders with the skills needed to balance economic and sustainability goals, while drawing attention to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and aligning academic institutions with the work of the UN Global Compact.

European Green Capital in 2019
The EU has announced Oslo as the European Green Capital in 2019. This means that Oslo is one of Europe's most ambitious and dynamic cities in the field of environment and climate, and shows that we have taken on leadership in the green change.
The goal is that the year as the green capital will lead to concrete environmental and climate outcomes. Together, we will reduce the overuse of resources, prevent plastic from harboring the fjord, preserve green spaces and the biodiversity of our city, and facilitate a healthy lifestyle in a healthy city.
The Green Capital Year will mobilize, inspire and disseminate knowledge to increase the pace of the green change in Oslo - including a wide range of events as tools.

Goodify
Some people are in a life situation where they need help from time to time. While others want to do something good for others when they have time and opportunity. Goodify connects people who need help, with those who will do good works through an app.
Our goal is to create a national commitment for more goodness between people. Goodify is a national goodness platform and the dream is that "everyone" in Norway will have the goodness app in their pocket - and use it.
