Our Policy
CSR
At JUNIA, social responsibility takes the form of concrete actions aimed at helping us live, learn, work, and act together more effectively. It guides our daily decisions, both on our campuses and in our training, research, and business consulting activities.

Promoting Well-Being and Inclusion
Community outreach, health promotion, sports, and disability awareness: we are working to create an environment where everyone can find their place and reach their full potential.
Reducing Our Environmental Impact
Sustainable mobility, biodiversity, resource management, and reducing our carbon footprint: our campuses are also places where we take action.
Training on Transition Issues

A Few Points of Reference
Our commitments are based on long-term goals and indicators shared throughout the institution.
Measuring for Progress

JUNIA relies on recognized management tools and frameworks to track the progress of its CSR approach. The ISO 14001 certification, audited every year, is used in particular to measure the results of the environmental actions undertaken. The school also relies on the national DD&RS framework and on indicators tracked over time to identify progress made, areas for improvement, and upcoming priorities. This approach helps embed CSR commitments into the institution’s day-to-day operations.
JUNIA takes action in several areas: controlling energy and water consumption, reducing waste, cutting paper use, developing more sustainable mobility options, preserving biodiversity, and reducing its carbon footprint. These actions rely in particular on the ISO 14001 certification, which governs the institution’s environmental management and helps measure progress over time.
Environmental, societal, and technological issues are woven into the programmes through coursework, projects, research work, and collaborations with companies. Students are encouraged to reflect on the impact of technology, the challenges posed by ongoing transitions, and the solutions that can address them. The goal is to train engineers and professionals capable of understanding complex situations, taking their consequences into account, and acting responsibly.
JUNIA’s CSR policy is built around four complementary pillars. The first focuses on people, with actions promoting well-being, health, inclusion, and equal opportunity. The second concerns the environment, through reducing the impact of the school’s activities. The third aims to make education, research, and innovation drivers for supporting transitions. Finally, the fourth pillar concerns governance, with the monitoring of results, continuous improvement, and dialogue with stakeholders.
RéSonancE 1.5 is JUNIA’s corporate and environmental responsibility initiative. It aims to integrate social, environmental, and societal issues into all of the school’s activities: education, research, campus life, and relationships with companies and regions. This initiative aligns with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and the ambition set out in the Paris Agreement. It is based on a logic of continuous improvement, with objectives tracked over time and concrete actions carried out across the institution.
