EDHEC Socially Responsible Entrepreneur of the Year award: cast your vote!

Created in 2011, the EDHEC Socially Responsible Entrepreneur of the Year award is given in recognition of an EDHEC graduate’s exceptional career path and social and/or economic impact as part of an association/NGO or socially responsible organisation. The winner can be an entrepreneur from the social and solidarity economy. The winning association/NGO or organisation places values of citizenship and social and environmental responsibility at the heart of its activities. It is open to the world and advocates acts of solidarity.
Within the organisation, the winning graduate:
- plays a crucial role and makes a strong contribution to its development;
- may have successfully led a major project with a social and/or economic impact.

Only EDHEC Alumni members can vote for candidates.
