Dedicated Courses
In addition to integrating the challenges of environmental and social transition into all its training programs, Audencia also draws on the expertise of its faculty to offer several training programs dedicated to CSR for those who wish to become players in these transitions. These courses use immersive teaching methods and are often based on the hybridization of skills.
Gaïa: Audencia's School of Ecological and Social Transition
Gaïa is the very first School launched by a Business School that is entirely dedicated to the training of management strategies and practices with a positive impact, in line with the objectives of sustainable development. This is where tomorrow's professional projects, entrepreneurial initiatives and research will be built around the major issues of environmental and social transition.
All Audencia students, whether in initial or executive education, will pass through Gaïa, via immersions of varying durations, but the school will also be accessible to all students, with no degree requirements. A series of free courses and activities, open to all, as well as a system of scholarships, will make it possible for anyone who is deeply concerned by the great issues of our time to be educated or re-educated.
At Gaïa, they will rub shoulders with energy sciences, biology, urban planning and sociology, as well as all management disciplines, rethought through the prism of sustainable development, through concrete projects proposed by the school's partners. Gaïa will be supported by a network of like-minded partners, including companies, social economy actors, NGOs, trade unions, public bodies and other academic institutions, who will come together in a new building designed to meet the most demanding environmental standards, and which will become a meeting place for all actors seeking to build different futures.
CSR course
The Corporate Social Responsibility course invites you to spend a year exploring how companies integrate sustainable development into their day-to-day strategies and activities.
In the first semester, you will gain a better understanding of the link between societal challenges and their application in business (what is the concept of CSR, what are the measurement and management tools, and for what purposes).
The second semester takes a deeper look at diversity and inclusion in business. Classes focus on the implementation of CSR in the workplace, with practitioners invited to share their company's practices.
Since integrating CSR dimensions into your future roles is at the heart of Audencia Business School's project, you will also be able to draw on the resources of the CSR Institute and the CSR Chair.
