Centre for Responsible Economy and ESG
TalTech is an advocate of responsible business and ESG (environmental, social, and governance) principles, and a key partner in developing and implementing sustainable economic models and their principles.
The ESG Centre was established to combine science, entrepreneurship, and society in shaping a sustainable and responsible future. We aim to find research-based solutions to support economic well-being, social justice, and environmental accountability, and seek to inspire and guide all economic stakeholders to make informed and impactful decisions that contribute to a balanced and sustainable economic environment.
The centre initiates, supports, and disseminates leading research on critical issues of responsible business and ESG, and participates in collaborative projects in Estonia and internationally. We consider and support the developments in TalTech’s green strategy, including circular economy, green transition business models, sustainable marine environments, and a roadmap to climate neutrality.

PRME journey
In September 2019, the School of Business and Governance (SBG) adopted the Principles for Responsible Management Education by becoming a PRME signatory, appointed ERS (ethics, responsibility, and sustainability) coordinator and formed an ERS working group. With this step, TalTech SBG became the first PRME signatory in Estonia.
The School’s ERS working group developed an ERS strategy for the years 2020 to 2028. It outlines the main strategic initiatives that are tied to the 6 PRME principles. In the process, each initiative was tied to goals and objectives to be fulfilled by 2024. The strategy implementation requires joint efforts of staff, faculty and students with active cooperation with all stakeholders.
