ESIEE Paris has been awarded the DD&RS accreditation for two years
Recognition of his commitment to the ecological and societal transition
This accreditation marks an important milestone for ESIEE Paris:
it recognises the institution’s long-standing commitment to a responsible engineering school model that is responsive to current challenges.
A commitment recognised at national level
The DD&RS (Sustainable Development & Social Responsibility) label recognises higher education and research institutions that have implemented sustainable initiatives. It acknowledges the maturity and consistency of the sustainable development initiatives put in place, based on a framework structured around five key areas and levels of progress.
Training responsible engineers
At ESIEE Paris, training engineers is not limited to technical skills: it is also about fostering ethical values, civic awareness and the ability to act sustainably.
The school’s DD&RS strategy, adopted by the School Council, is structured around five key areas that cover all aspects of school life:
Formation
Incorporating the challenges of ecological and social transition into teaching
The Research
To promote the development of responsible, useful research that addresses societal challenges
How it works
Adopting energy-saving practices and sustainable resource management
Student life
Ensuring a fulfilling, inclusive and respectful environment
Local roots
Enhancing the school’s positive impact on its local community
An approach aligned with that of Gustave Eiffel University
ESIEE Paris’s sustainability policy is fully aligned with the strategy championed by Université Gustave Eiffel, of which the school is a founding member. This alignment strengthens the impact of the initiatives undertaken and reflects a shared commitment to social and environmental responsibility.
Barbara Gérard, Sustainability and Social Responsibility Officer at ESIEE Paris
" Sustainability and Social Responsibility (DD&RS) is a demanding but essential process. It requires us to organise our activities and implement concrete changes. It gives meaning to our day-to-day work and strengthens team cohesion. I am proud to be able to contribute to this and to promote these values at the university and within ESIEE Paris. "
A collective dynamic
Beyond recognition, the DD&RS accreditation serves as a catalyst for continuing and strengthening the initiatives already underway. ESIEE Paris intends to continue to engage its staff, students and partners in order to put the values of sustainable development into practice within the school and beyond.
