Together Institute for Sustainability & Social Change

The world is facing major challenges: the climate emergency, growing social divides, and democratic crises that are shaking the foundations of our societies. What if businesses were part of the solution? Today, more than ever, they are required to rethink their role in society. Mission, offerings, business model, governance, management, performance: every aspect must be reexamined. Because a sustainable and inclusive economy cannot be decreed—it must be built!

The ESSEC Institute for Sustainability & Social Change, in partnership with businesses and civil society, is developing the sustainable models of tomorrow and training enlightened leaders equipped to drive these changes. Based on ESSEC’s campuses in France, Morocco, and Singapore, the institute draws on this international perspective to generate ideas and solutions that are relevant on a global scale.

The Institute operates in four areas of expertise: Social Innovation; Global Performance; Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion; and Ecological Transition—through several modes of action:

  • Research and Dissemination: The Together Institute supports the production and dissemination of knowledge (academic and applied research) to guide organizations seeking to balance economic, environmental, and social performance.

  • Initial and Executive Education: The Together Institute trains, equips, and supports students, managers, and executives so they can become effective agents of ecological and social transition.

  • Social Impact: The Together Institute provides concrete support to organizations as they transition toward more sustainable models and to social entrepreneurs as they scale their impact.
