Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)

Working together for a sustainable world

A school committed to a sustainable future

At ISARA, working towards a sustainable future means working for people and the planet.
Our CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) policy and our Sustainable Development (DD&RS) approach guide all our actions: training, innovating, and entrepreneurship to actively contribute to ecological, economic, and social transition.
To meet the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), ISARA takes concrete and collective action to have a positive, measurable impact on society and the environment.

National recognition

ISARA is one of around 60 higher education institutions with DD&RS certification.

This national certification attests to the consistency, maturity, and vitality of our approach, which is based on action, continuous improvement, and transparency.

A collective dynamic for ecological transition

Our CSR policy is based on a strong conviction: change is built together.
Students, teachers, researchers, staff, and economic partners are joining forces to accelerate the ecological transition of the agricultural and agri-food sectors.
Our campuses are true living ecosystems, open to society and focused on sustainable transformation.

Our five areas of commitment

1. Strategy and governance

Sustainable development guides ISARA’s strategy within AGRIVIA, the union formed with ISEMA.

Two centers of excellence embody this vision:

  • CLAS – Center for Agroecology and Sustainable Food Systems, disseminates knowledge and best practices in the service of agricultural and food resilience.
  • The Hub des Audacieux, dedicated to entrepreneurship and sustainable innovation, supports projects with a strong social and environmental impact.

In light of current challenges, each program incorporates sustainable development issues in order to train engineers and professionals who are agents of change and capable of applying skills that connect science, innovation, and responsibility.

Our centers of excellence—agroecology, sustainable food systems, and entrepreneurial innovation—fuel applied, collaborative, and committed research that supports the transition, development, and sustainability of economic activities.

ISARA campuses, true open-air laboratories, set an example by reducing their ecological footprint, promoting biodiversity, and conducting concrete projects around sustainable food.

At the heart of our approach, people are both the foundation and the driving force behind our commitments. ISARA takes the utmost care to ensure quality of life in studies and quality of life at work. Furthermore, embracing diversity, equal opportunities, and well-being are the foundations of an inclusive, supportive, committed, and fulfilling community.
