Pioneering decarbonization and circularity to align business models with planetary boundaries.
The world is facing interrelated climate and biodiversity crises. Businesses need to be at forefront to decarbonize their value chains to become climate neutral and resilient. However, decarbonization alone is not. Circularity is much deeper and allows businesses to go beyond carbon emissions to tackle multiple environmental footprints.
At Climate & Earth Center at HEC Paris, we develop cutting-edge knowledge to transform business models and organizations around our three core pillars THINK, TEACH, AN ACT. As one of Europe's leading business schools, we acknowledge our responsibility to educate current and future leaders in navigating the complexities of the sustainable business transformation.
Doing Business with planetary boundaries
Our purpose is to develop new business models that drastically reduce resource and environmental footprints and at the same time have economic and social benefits.
