Audencia's mission
Audencia Nantes provides education and personal development guidance to students who will assert themselves as responsible, highly-skilled managers and entrepreneurs having a global awareness and a broad culture who are attentive to giving meaning to their decisions and actions. To do so, Audencia produces and diffuses management knowledge useful for academic disciplines, firms, and the classroom.
By recruiting men and women from around the world, chosen for their diversity and potential, and by making a commitment to educating leaders sharing its values, Audencia accompanies firms in their development.
Thus, Audencia contributes to expanding the influence of the territory that fosters its identity.
Since then, the school has been fully involved in this initiative, which has brought businesses, labour organisations and societies together to further 10 universal principles of human rights, labour standards and the environment.
In signing the Global Compact, Audencia has committed itself to promoting these 10 principles to its student body, staff and partners: it also integrates these principles into its research, teachings and internal management while reporting annually on its aims and related measures taken.
- 53 different nationalities of students on campus
- 43% international faculty members
- 30% of Audencia alumni work abroad
