About the Sustainability & Organizations (S&O) Institute
Established in 2009 as a pioneering entity within HEC Paris, S&O is an interdisciplinary institute, fostering a community of researchers, business leaders, organizations and individuals deeply committed to serving a sustainable and just transition.
What is S&O Institute?
As we believe that economic actors are powerhouses to achieve this goal, we advocate for a responsible creation and sharing of decarbonized economic value that serves both human and planetary well-being.
Our purpose is to reinvent business through promoting sustainability and unleashing human potential.
Cutting-edge research, ground-breaking experimentation, transformative pedagogy, critical thinking and multi-stakeholder dialogue are at the core of our holistic approach to drive change.
The mission of our interconnected centers (Purpose, Inclusive Economy, Climate & Earth) and our experimental Impact Company Lab through research and teaching, is to empower current leaders and the new generation to navigate systemic challenges with science-based knowledge, courage and conviction.
