HEC Paris - This is HEC Paris 2011-2012 - (Page 36)
Over the years, HEC Paris has
multiplied its sustainabledevelopment and social
initiatives.
These initiatives all form part
of an organizational learning
process which HEC Paris
seeks to further strengthen
and develop, thereby positioning
societal and environmental
issues at the heart of
the school’s strategy.
There are three main focuses
within the initiatives: teaching
and research, equal opportunities
and a green/eco-friendly campus.

In the programs
The MSc and the Specialized Master
in Sustainable Development
Both programs’ academic ambition is to
train creative and determined
managers and leaders who will help to
transform the business model of
companies, and invent new models
creating wealth for all, with no negative
impact on nature and people.
The curriculum focuses not only on
providing students with all the
necessary knowledge on environmental
and social stakes (climate change,
biodiversity, poverty…) but also on the
changing environment of companies
(pressures of civil society, financial
markets and soft and hard laws).
The “Alter-Management”
specialization
Established in September 2006, the
Alternative Management Major is a
specialization available to students in
the final year of the MSc in
Management program interested in
exploring new ways of thinking that
challenge established ideas.
The “Social Business” Certificate
program
Offered in the final year of the MSc in
Management program as a
complement to the student’s
specialization, as well as MBA, MSc and
Specialized Masters students, this
certificate aims to contribute towards
training a new generation of managers,
aware of societal challenges and
aspiring to be part of the solution,
regardless of their professional activity.
The objective is not necessarily for all
students to work in Social Business,
but for them to acquire an awareness of
the importance of these issues in their
field of work and to develop questioning
skills about the role of business in
society.
Social awareness
Since September 2008, a Major in
Sustainable Development has been
available to students in the final year of
the MSc in Management program.
The Social Realities and
Innovations Academy
This Academy is one of nineteen short
courses offered to MSc students. Held
over 2-3 weeks in January, this short
program encourages participants to
reflect on current social issues, such as
old-age isolation or extreme poverty.
