Institut Mines-Télécom Business School ranks among the top 15 in this year’s ChangeNOW x Les Echos 2025 ranking, which lists the schools most committed to ecological and social transition. This distinction confirms the school’s ambition: to train responsible managers capable of supporting the profound transformations taking place in the economic and social world in a sustainable manner.
A ranking that values concrete commitments
The ChangeNOW x Les Echos ranking assesses the ability of higher education institutions to integrate sustainability issues into their core mission. The criteria analyzed reflect the priorities of a forward-looking school: quality of governance, transformation of educational programs, impact of research, community involvement, and inclusion.
With this 15th place ranking, IMT-BS demonstrates the consistency and scope of its actions, collectively supported by its teams, students, and partners.
An educational approach rooted in environmental and social issues
For several years now, the school has been integrating climate, ethical, and societal issues into the core of its programs. This commitment is reflected in:
- continuous program development to prepare future managers for the challenges of transition;
- the rise of impact-oriented courses and projects;
- the strong involvement of teachers and researchers in sustainable development issues.
The school also draws on rapidly developing chairs, such as Good In Tech and Augmented Operating Room (BOPA), which contribute to enriching academic work and strengthening links with emerging societal issues.
A committed alumni network
The ranking also highlights the strength of the network of graduates working in high-impact sectors: energy, social and solidarity economy, responsible digital transformation, sustainable finance, and many others. Their commitment contributes to the school’s reputation and inspires new generations.
Among them, the initiatives led by Maxime Moru (Nabook), Anthony Babkine (Diversidays), Alexandre Zapolsky (Linagora), and Juliette Hamon (LaBretonneenstop) illustrate the momentum driven by Digital Managers for Impact.
Forward-looking governance and CSR strategy
IMT-BS’s commitment is based on an ambitious CSR strategy defined around clear objectives: reducing the campus’s environmental footprint, developing responsible practices, guiding the educational community toward sustainability, and supporting social innovation.
This approach is structured in particular by regular carbon assessments and recognized commitments, such as obtaining the DD&RS label.
Diversity, inclusion, and equal opportunities
The school takes strong action to guarantee equal opportunities and encourage diversity: support systems, social openness, actions to promote inclusion, and the fight against discrimination. These initiatives are an essential pillar of the IMT-BS educational model.
Student engagement and impactful projects
Student associations play a key role in driving change. They develop concrete initiatives around ecology, solidarity, and citizenship, in collaboration with partners such as the Rotary Club as part of the Épicer’INT and Intervenir projects.
Academic excellence and employability
Finally, this ranking recognizes the school’s ability to combine academic excellence, professionalization, and responsibility. Students benefit from a stimulating learning environment that promotes their employability in sectors committed to sustainable transformation.
