Our Mission, our Values

Edhec Business School

Our mission

To train the talent and develop the knowledge that moves the world forward.

Firms are increasingly looking for people who can manage projects and multicultural teams in an international environment to drive their development,

Our mission is to shape this talent by transmitting the know-how and the people skills that are needed. This implies developing a clear vision of tomorrow's world.

Our ambition

To move businesses, society, and the world forward.

We aim to do this by developing the talent and the values in our future alumni that will take them towards excellence and ensure they are the builders of a better world. At the same time, by creating an added value that is useful to everyone, thanks to the research conducted by our teaching faculty.

Our values

Values that drive the world forward

Commitment: to a mission that drives both EDHEC and its community. Commitment, the key virtue in great leaders.
Conviction: because no one can successfully lead a project they don't believe in.
Culture: because it is essential to understand others and to understand the key issues and challenges in today's world.
Solidarity: an EDHEC value for over a century, it underpins our students' deep-seated humanity.
Independence: which allows us to make our own choices and to act freely in the governance of the school, and independence in the spirit of our alumni which enables them to tackle any issue that may arise with great open-mindedness.
