Long committed to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ieseg.fr\/en\/the-school\/about-ieseg\/vision-mission-values\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">developing responsible leaders<\/a>, <strong>I\u00c9SEG School of Management is strengthening this ambition through a new partnership with <a href=\"https:\/\/ecovadis.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">EcoVadis<\/a>, a global leader in ESG ratings for supply chains<\/strong>. The collaboration aims to reinforce teaching and research in sustainability, while giving students direct access to leading professional tools and expertise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-ieseg-orange-color has-text-color\">EcoVadis, a global reference in sustainability ratings<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Founded in 2007, <strong>EcoVadis is the world\u2019s most widely used sustainability ratings platform for supply chains<\/strong>.

EcoVadis has become a trusted partner for organizations looking to structure and improve their CSR and ESG practices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Beyond its rating activity, EcoVadis is a mission-driven company under France\u2019s PACTE law. Its mission\u2014\u201cGuiding all companies toward a sustainable world\u201d\u2014is supported by a strong commitment to education, including the goal of helping train the next generation of sustainability professionals. This shared ambition provides the natural foundation for its partnership with I\u00c9SEG.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-ieseg-orange-color has-text-color\">A hands-on learning partnership<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>At the core of the partnership is a strong educational focus. I\u00c9SEG students and faculty will have privileged access to the <strong>EcoVadis Academy platform, an online learning hub offering training modules on key ESG topics<\/strong> such as human rights due diligence, decarbonization, responsible sourcing, non-financial reporting, and environmental risk management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Students enrolled in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ieseg.fr\/en\/programs\/specialized-masters\/master-management-sustainability\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Master in Management for Sustainability<\/a> and the Sustainability Minor within the Master cycle of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ieseg.fr\/en\/programs\/grande-ecole-program\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Grande \u00c9cole Program<\/a> will follow a certification pathway through the platform. Highly valued by employers,<strong> this certification will equip them with the skills needed to lead CSR and sustainability initiatives across global value chains<\/strong>, and to step into operational roles from the start of their careers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The partnership also includes guest lectures, student challenges, and co-designed hackathons with EcoVadis teams. Students will also benefit from site visits across the company\u2019s global offices, including Paris, Barcelona, Warsaw, Toronto, and Hong Kong.
