Audencia's Club of Globally Responsible Managers
Audencia has created a Club of Globally Responsible Managers. Within this Club, professors and students lead concrete projects. The Club has launched a series of publications based on good practices discovered by a team of professors, students and managers.
Global Responsibility Awards
