Sustainable development and CSR
As part of our strategy sustainable development and CSR for 2022-2026, the school is developing "ICN Impact". This ambitious plan of action aims to fully integrate social and environmental responsibility issues into all its internal and external components. The objective is to address the government's Agenda 2030 and the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDG).
The school is positioning itself as a committed actor in social and environmental responsibility. Thanks to our entire community, we are striving towards an ambitious social and environmental transition. By training the responsible managers of tomorrow, ICN is committed to the transformation of societies for a more sustainable and inclusive world.
Furthermore, ICN is also committed to the United Nations as a member of the Global Compact and PRME (Principles for Responsible Management Education). In early 2024, the school obtained the DD&RS label awarded by CIRSES to higher education institutions. With this label, ICN is now part of the exclusive circle of 10% of French schools holding it.
Additionally, the school has developed an inter- and trans-disciplinary "Art, Technology and Management" pedagogy; and Station A, a place to develop agile and collaborative projects dedicated in part to sustainable development and CSR.
Finally, as part of the DD&RS label, the school pays special attention to CSR topics:
- We focus on providing training on sustainability issues and support our students' impact entrepreneurship.
- Our professors ensure the integration of responsible innovation in their research.
- We support our partners' social and environmental initiatives.
- Our employees are educated on our climate strategy aimed at reducing emissions and benefit from our inclusive and egalitarian social policy.
