Inclusive Economy
We have trained thousands of students since 2009 while developing courses in all our programs, aiming at creating a more “S” oriented / inclusive mindset and culture in the business community.
Our mission: We are committed to helping our students and executive education participants develop the knowledge, knowhow and soft skills that are required to lead organizations conducive towards inclusive growth.
Master in Management - Grande Ecole
The students in Master in Management have access to several courses about inclusive economy.
Let's focus on a few programs proposed in the catalogue for 2nd year-students (M1)
=> Inequality and Business in the 21st century
Inequalities are at the forefront of today’s public and policy debate. There could hardly be a more pressing time to understand how inequalities arise, which one’s matter, why they matter and how they could be addressed. We see inequalities all the time, whether at schools, job offices, hospitals, traveling around the world or even in a single city – or when skimming through the news. But we still lack a clear understanding of the role that businesses play to affect inequalities. In this course, we take a step back and ask: how are different kinds of inequalities related, what are the big economic and psychological forces that create (and sustain) them, may it make sense for businesses to engage in solving the inequality challenges, and if yes, what would be the right mix of business policies to tackle them?
The course is taught by HEC Professor Marieke Huysentruyt, Strategy & Business Policy department
=> Human rights and Business
The course provides an introduction to business and human rights (BHR) through a series of concrete examples and testimonies from practitioners. The course is deeply rooted in some of the most pressing global challenges such as the elimination of child labour and forced labour (SDG 8.7) and articulated with the “BHR” framework: UNGPs, responsible business conduct, mandatory human rights due diligence.
The course is taught by Charles Autheman, international consultant for the International Labor Organization and other UN agencies.
Block Seminars are intensive one-week seminars on an in¬novative Management topic, run prior to or at the start of the MIM Term 1.

The HEC Paris Seminar
Impact investing offers a unique opportunity to align financial expertise with purpose and impact. It involves allocating capital to ventures that not only generate returns, but also create measurable social and environmental value. As the world faces complex and interconnected challenges, impact investing provides the necessary tools to support innovative solutions, and scale them effectively, driving system change.
The new 5-day Block Seminar on Impact Investing for Systemic Change is an opportunity for the HEC S&O team to challenge participants and question their roles as future managers and executives.
This course does not aim to cover every aspect of impact investing exhaustively. Rather, it offers a focused introduction, highlighting key concepts and real-world examples to spark your curiosity and inspire you to explore this dynamic field more deeply throughout your master’s studies and after.

Executive Master in Management - Sustainable Leadership in Africa
In order to meet the economic, social and environmental challenges, which are very specific to the African continent, the challenge of this Major is to define the leadership approaches that will lead to sustainable economic innovation and that will have a positive impact on the environment, society and individuals. This program was co-developed with two African academic institutions (UM6P in Morocco and UCT in South Africa). The aim of the Major is to inspire participants with the innovative practices of key stakeholders in Africa, and to apply them in an individual project.
Executive Master in Management - Change & sustainability
Organizations are currently undergoing profound, rapid and continuous change. Companies are no longer just a source of profit, they are also the focal point of unprecedented environmental, technological, economic, social, and human changes, which they must take into account in order to meet the new requirements of sustainability. This major is aimed at managers and executives who are in charge of transformation projects and who will have to meet the major challenges of the future, manage change, modernize organizations, and reinvent ways to collaborate in order to achieve greater economic, societal, and environmental efficiency.
Sustainable transition management
The multiple economic, environmental, and social challenges we are currently facing means that companies need to rethink their strategy, their business model, and their relationship with society.
The transition to a sustainable and responsible approach to business is more than just an imperative. It is an opportunity, which enables organizations to create new forms of competitive advantage, to invent new business models, to control their risks, to stimulate innovation, and to develop more inclusive management styles.
Everyone, at his or her level of the organization, has an important role to play.
The objective of the Sustainable Transition Management program is to help managers and executives drive the sustainable transition of their company, and thereby define and implement an harmonious approach to strategy, which focuses on economic performance and takes into account the major challenges of today and tomorrow.
Piloter la transformation vers le développement durable
To meet the challenges of a rapidly changing and increasingly complex world, developing more agile ways of collaborating to create value is crucial. This program has been specifically designed for managers and leaders who wish to master the three key forms of intelligence: strategic and forward-thinking intelligence, collective and systemic intelligence, and emotional and situational intelligence, in order to become the leaders of change and the transformation of organizations. Leadership and Change is all about managing diversity and putting teams and individuals at the center of the "reactor" in order to co-construct efficient, innovative and sustainable organizations that meet the new demands of sustainability (environmental, societal and governance).
