Pioneering decarbonization and circularity
Aligning Business with Planetary Boundaries
The business world recognizes today that the planet is under major stress due to two factors: the impact of economic activity on climate and the environment; and companies are not taking enough responsibility towards ecological and energy transitions.
At HEC Paris, the integration of research, teaching, and action is a fundamental philosophy that we embody. In today's dynamic landscape, where environmental and social challenges are increasingly prominent, HEC serves as a beacon of innovation and responsibility. As Europe's leading business school, we acknowledge our responsibility to guide future leaders in navigating the complexities of a world in flux.
We develop tools and actionable knowledge to align value chains and business models with planetary boundaries.
Our areas of expertise are:
- Decarbonization
- Circular economy
Doing Business with planetary boundaries
Our purpose is to develop new business models that drastically reduce resource and environmental footprints and at the same time have economic and social benefits.
