UniLaSalle's mission is to train tomorrow's decision-makers, but it also means acting now, because ecological and societal transformation is not just a matter for the next generation, but for the generations already in place.  

UniLaSalle launches its ecological and societal transformation strategy (DD-TES) and sets an ambitious course to implement its transformation project.

Our training universes are decisive for transformation; the expectations of our students, employees, graduates and partners are high; the climate emergency is a reality: the Uni4Change strategy aims to formalize our 30-year commitment to these decisive challenges.

Mobilizing around 5 priority issues

UniLaSalle's vocation is to make the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) its own, in order to contribute to them.

Through the nature of the training courses it offers and the research it carries out, as well as the legacy of its Lasallian commitment, its contributions to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals, adopted by the United Nations in 2015, can be grouped around five priority issues:

When it comes to these issues, UniLaSalle, its employees and students must be in a position to convey messages of transformation, but also to propose innovative solutions to meet the challenges posed by these issues on a local scale, within a territory, as well as on a more global scale.

At UniLaSalle, we believe that we have a role to play, a responsibility to act now on these issues that will enable us to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals.

Lasallian commitment and social justice

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) adopted in 2015 set the 2030 agenda for development. This is an international frame of reference for all states and stakeholders to enable each and every organization to mobilize for these social, economic and environmental challenges as well. 

The 17 Sustainable Development Goals : 1 - No poverty / 2 - Zero hunger / 3 - Good Health and well-being / 4 - Quality Education / 5 - Gender equality / 6 - Clean water and sanitation / 7 - Affordable and clean energy / 8 - Decent work and Economic growth / 9 - Industry, innovation and infrastructure / 10 - Reduced inequalities / 11 - Sustainabe cities and communities / 12 - Responsible consumption and production / 13 - Climate action / 14 - Life below water / 15 - Life on land / 16 - Peace, justice and strong institutions / 17 - Partnerships for the goals

 

Acting for ecological and societal transformation through 5 commitments

Uni4Change is also a methodology, 5 strong commitments setting the framework for our ambition, in which everyone has the means to invest and contribute so that UniLaSalle can position itself as an inspiring and demonstrative school in terms of ecological and societal transformation.

  1. Promote ecological and societal transformation in all our activities and territories
  2. Train responsible and enlightened decision-makers
  3. Provide concrete solutions to the Sustainable Development Goals
  4. Manage our campuses to achieve a positive environmental impact
  5. Commit to the development of our internal stakeholders

 

A commitment and ambition driven by students and employees

UniLaSalle is mobilizing and mobilizing with its students and employees to meet the challenges of ecological and societal transformation.

The involvement of student associations, notably through the creation of the role of sustainable development referent, has for many years enabled the emergence of mobilizing dynamics through the organization of events and the implementation of committed, federative projects. 

As proof of its commitment, since 2020 the school has held the DD&RS label at group level, enshrining the commitments and actions carried out in favor of ecological and societal transformation.
