The EDHEC Centre for Responsible Entrepreneurship and EDHEC Entrepreneurs are very committed in the challenges of sustainability in entrepreneurship.

According to a 2022 EDHEC/Station F study, while 9 out of 10 startups are ready to make a clear commitment to ESG practices, 75% of them face difficulties in taking action. One of the obstacles is the ‘ESG debt’, but this is not inevitable: EDHEC's entrepreneurial eco-system has developped a holistic method called ‘Responsible Entrepreneurship by Design’ (RED), enabling startups to integrate economic, social and environmental performance issues into the heart of their model.

Below are a few illustrations of the key points of this approach.
