"Dare for Good" : an “Audencia Talents” seminar in CSR mode !

As every year, this is THE meeting place for the 530 first-year students of the Master Grande Ecole. This is of course the Audencia Talents seminar at the start of the new school year!

It took place from September 15 to 18, 2020. On the program :2x2 days of brainstorming and creative flow to respond to a CSR issue submitted by our partner companies. A dive into the deep end for our new students, so that they are immediately confronted with the professional world, in an atmosphere of collective emulation.

For this 2020 edition, a chosen theme: "Dare for Good", and four key words: "CSR", "responsibility", "ecology" and "environment". In all, no less than seven companies played the game: Sodexo France, GRDF, Lactalis group, Pierre et vacances et Center Park group, Mazars group, Réalités group, and of course Audencia.

Here are some of the problematics that our partner companies asked our students:

• For GRDF: how to convince private individuals to modernize their heating system for local renewable energy?
• For Lactalis: how can Lactel engage the general public and involve its employees in its CSR approach ?
• For Sodexo: how can we engage restaurant consumers in an eco-responsible approach? And how can Sodexo become a more inclusive employer towards people far from work?
• For Le groupe Pierre et Vacances and Center Parcs: we challenge you to reinvent tomorrow's sustainable local tourism.

A hackathon brilliantly completed by our students who were able to demonstrate their creativity. Congratulations to everyone for their participation !
