CSR is now a key element in our ranking, and has found its rightful place in the life of companies and in our daily lives. This year, it's the "societal" and inclusion dimension that will be in the spotlight.

Inclusion of the disabled in the world of work, improvement of the daily lives of the elderly, better inclusion of women or support for medical research, ESSCA companies are each taking action in their own field to make the daily lives of their fellow citizens easier, and in so doing, uphold the values of humanism that are the foundation of our school.

The 4 2024 nominees for the CSR Prize are :
