MAKE AN IMPACT FOR GOOD
Launched in the UK, "Make an Impact for Good" is a programme of Alumni activities aimed at addressing the urgent challenge of connecting generations around the sustainability agenda and making an impact for good across our entire community of UK Alumni and EDHEC students.
It offers two main activities:
A mentoring programme between Alumni and EDHEC students from the MSc in Global & Sustainable Business and MSc in Climate Change & Sustainable Finance. So far, Alumni from Citi, IK Partners, LVMH and Mazars have already assigned sustainability-related projects to our students for them to work on it as part of their final-year thesis and bring value.
A series of top-level panel discussions on the wide range of topics around sustainability: the role of the individual, sustainable finance, the circular economy, transition to green energy...
If you are interested in joining our mentoring programme or speaking at one of the panels, please contact the team of the Sustainability programme at: ukboard@alumni.edhec.edu. We would be delighted to collaborate with you!
