Ethics and openness
In 1907, the Institut Sainte-Geneviève founded the Institut des Sciences Economiques et Commerciales (Institute of Economic and Commercial Sciences) to inculcate moral values in the business world and train a new generation of business leaders. Since that time, ESSEC has become one of Europe’s top management schools, while remaining true to ESSEC’s unique calling of promoting ethics and openness to the world.
