Building upon KEDGE’s academic excellence and commitment to CSR related issues, this MSc in Business Transformation for Sustainability breaks the boundaries between disciplines to reinvent tomorrow’s organisations.
With an innovative, learning-by-doing experiential approach, it allows students to argue the business case for sustainability, develop integrated sustainability strategies and implement them throughout a sphere of influence.
KEDGE's Centre of Excellence for Sustainability conducts interdisciplinary research into the socioeconomic and environmental impacts of organisations at different levels of analysis. With 24 academics and 6 PhD students, it is one of the largest European research and higher education centres dedicated to corporate sustainability.
The Centre of Excellence is a catalyst for susstainable business practices and works towards a better and more sustainable world.
The MSc buils on its expertise and know-how and passes it on to the students.Such anchoring allows students to participate in international seminars, conferences, and workshops on sustainable development challenges.
All along the MSc, students are immersed in an ecosystem and exposed to multiple testimonials, company visits, climate murals and experiential workshoops. Real company challenges create the opportunity for students to apply sustainability notions and go through a first-hand sustainability transformation experience. transformation is also encountered during the sustainability factories, in which students engage in a personal and organisational journey. by enhancing complex thinking capabilities for problem solving, sustainability factories allow for better problem framing, application of knowledge, acceleration of odeas, co-construction of solutions and presentation of sustainable value propositions for a better world.
Collaboration with key players from the civil world such as NGOs and regulators is key to successful business transformation. To ensure a thorough understanding of the potential of such cross-sector collaboration, students engage in an NGO mission with a specific assignment. The real-life experience in non-business sector organisations activates students understanding of the contributions that such players can make towards sustainability transformation.
Core values such as inclusiveness are central to the curriculum as well as to the school' s vision. Among the UN's Sustainable Development Goals, some are directly related to inclusivity. At KEDGE, inclusivity means fighting all forms of discrimination such as gender, sexual orientation, religion, geographical and social origin, disability but also territory (rural versus urban for example). Supporting inclusivity also implies taking actions both internally (students, employees and professors) and externally, by considering its entire ecosystem in its territories.
