After entrepreneurship and export, corporate social responsibility is the third pillar of the management philosophy of EMLYON Business School, which is proud to be a “civic-minded school.” Ethics, sustainable development and social openness are the new components of responsible management. This vision is conveyed through many initiatives that extend well beyond the scope of the classroom:

 « Trait d'Union Multicampus Multiquartiers » Programme (the multi-campus and multi-district Programme), as part of the implementation of the charter for equal opportunity, dated August 2005, conducted jointly with ENS Sciences and LSH Human Sciences.
 Student association projects: Solidariterre, Planet & Co, Vallée de Cœur, Handimanagement etc.
 Co-organisation of the “Entrepreneurs dans la Ville” (Entrepreneurs in the City) programme with the “Sport dans la Ville” (Sports in the City) association.
 The EMLYON “Entrepreneurs pour le Monde” (Entrepreneurs for the World) Foundation and the theme of the first World Entrepreneurship Forum are part of the same dynamic.
