Over the past few years, many French business and engineering schools have significantly intensified their efforts to prepare students for the environmental and social challenges ahead. These institutions have integrated questions of impact in their curricula, set ambitious carbon emission targets, and raised awareness about diversity and inclusion across their communities. Launched four years ago, the ChangeNOW Les Echos ranking has become a leading benchmark for business and engineering schools focusing on sustainability and social change in France. I couldn’t be prouder that ESSEC Business School has been named the #1 business school in France most committed to sustainability and social change for the third year in a row! 🌍 🏆 The ranking is based on a comprehensive evaluation across six key criteria: - Integration of impact issues into programs - Strength of alumni network in the impact sector - Institutional strategy and exemplarity - Diversity and equal opportunities - Involvement of student associations in impact - Academic excellence and employability I see firsthand the dedication of our teams who work tirelessly to drive these ambitious goals forward. Bravo to all of you. Bravo, #ESSEC!
