Sustainable development & Corporate social responsibility LABEL
DD&RS

Global warming, degradation of ecosystems, depletion of natural resources... The construction and public works sector has a key role to play in the ecological transition.

BUILDERS Engineering School has a long-standing commitment to this approach. one of the first engineering schools to be awarded the «Sustainable Development and Corporate Social Responsibility» label» by the Ministries of Higher Education, Research and Ecological Transition.

This commitment has an impact on all the school's activities: training, research, environmental management, social policy and local roots.

Our commitments

  • Train all students to build sustainably, The school is located in Caen and Vaulx-en-Velin, whatever the programme (Bachelor's, Engineer's, Specialised Master's, Doctorate).
  • Developing innovative solutions, This is particularly true of the school's research unit, laboratories and engineering and innovation activities.
  • Propose practical technical solutions adapted to the needs of users and local authorities, thanks in particular to a network of partner companies who are committed, alongside the school, to building differently, for sustainable development and solidarity.
  • Promoting outside its borders the “French-style” construction model, based on the skills of companies and their teams and on scientific and technical expertise.
  • Be exemplary in meeting its SD&RS commitments, This includes the way it operates, its governance, training and research, as well as the technical management of its premises and social policy.

By involving its teams, its students and all those who want to contribute, BUILDERS School of Engineering wants to help build a more sustainable and fairer future. Resolutely optimistic, deeply human, agile and open to the world, BUILDERS School of Engineering invites all those who want to make a sustainable commitment to join us today.

Innovating to build better

Innovation and research have always been at the heart of the school's project. Over the last ten years, BUILDERS Lab has piloted around fifteen projects across Europe, BUILDERS School of Engineering, in conjunction with its partner companies and laboratories, has invested a total of more than €30m. Through this commitment, BUILDERS École d'ingénieurs intends to continue to developing innovative, practical solutions for tomorrow, from applied research eco-materials and sustainable construction

The FRESH-ECOPAVERS project aims to develop virtuous pavements capable of limiting the storage of solar energy, thereby combating heat islands in urban areas.

Passing on the power to act

Thanks to an in-depth reform of the syllabus, every student at BUILDERS School of Engineering is trained to implement sustainable construction for low-carbon buildings, infrastructures and structures, energy-efficient and resource-efficient, preserving biodiversity and soil.

Deputy Director of Training and Research
Future players in the construction industry will have to encourage a paradigm shift in their businesses by coming up with new solutions. We need to change the way we build, because our activity has an impact, not only on CO2 emissions, but also on energy, biodiversity, land use and the consumption of natural resources available in limited quantities.

Social and environmental responsibility

Since its creation, the school has made it a priority to social inclusion and diversity, raising the profile of female talent in the construction and building trades. encouraging multiple career paths through the development of the engineering by apprenticeships and financial assistance. Its buildings will also be symbols of this DDRS performance, in particular the forthcoming constructions in Caen and Lyon.
