The HEC MSc in Sustainable Development (MISD) is a 12 month full-time program taught in English. Our ambition is to train creative and determined managers who are conscious of the importance of the challenges we face and who have a permanent thirst for learning.
Environmental and societal issues are now both wellknown and tremendous: global warming, which may be irreversible and necessitates drastic reduction in greenhouse gas emissions; the scissor effect between increasing consumption of natural resources and scarcity of these resources, especially concerning energy and water, but also other resources like ore and biodiversity; growing socioeconomic inequalities, that lead to geopolitical crises.
In the light of these challenges that concern all of us, a real economic change is taking place, marked by: more costly energy and primary resources; more diversified energy sources with non-fossil fuels being taken into consideration; an internalization of the negative effects already implemented with the Kyoto protocol; rebalanced labor costs.
The role of businesses is indeed of primary importance. Making marginal changes, is no longer sufficient: more radical transformations are necessary at technological as well as organizational and strategic levels. A fundamental shift in the way we do business is needed. Anticipating these changes makes companies more creative and also offers them many professional opportunities.
