At I\u00c9SEG, we believe that sustainability must be embedded in the DNA of the organization and must be integrated transversally in everything we do<\/strong>: in the classroom, in our research, in our culture, and in our operations. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Empowering Students <\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

I\u00c9SEG aims to provide students with the knowledge and skills to be responsible actors in society<\/strong>. Integrating CSR into our students\u2019 learning experience is thus essential. To do so, we base our strategy on the 6 U.N. Principles for Responsible Management Education (PRME)<\/strong><\/a>. Throughout their time at our School, students are exposed to different CSR, sustainability, and ethics problematics in different management fields and different contexts. As part of our strategy, our goal is that by 2024, 100% of our courses will include a social and environmental dimension.  <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The social and ecological transition of the School can only be achieved through a collaborative process. I\u00c9SEG has worked closely with its stakeholders in order to co-construct a common social and environmental impact strategy<\/strong>. The participation of students, faculty, staff, alumni, companies, and others is essential to our success. I\u00c9SEG’s sustainable development strategy is currently led by the Sustainability Team, under the direction of our Dean. It is support by the Social and Environmental Impact Steering Committee, as well as the different centers of excellence and research centers.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Created in 2016, I\u00c9SEG\u2019s Sustainability Steering Committee<\/strong> provides guidance and oversight of the Sustainability Strategy of our School and monitors change towards a more sustainable model. Furthermore, it ensures that projects, initiatives, and policies implemented by different services or departments of the School align with our Sustainability strategy and objectives. It is composed of the Social and Environmental Impact Director, the Social and Environmental Impact Manager, the Dean, the Director of Operations, the Head of ICOR, the Head of ICIE, the Head of Management and Society Department, the Head of Communications, and the Corporate Relations Manager. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Our sustainability strategy is based on 4 overarching pillars<\/strong> that aim to cover all aspects of our business and operations. These pillars emerged through a consultation process<\/strong> with various stakeholders that took place between 2019 and early 2022.    <\/p>\n\n\n
