La finance verte, la mesure d’impact, l’ESG ou la performance des entreprises sont des sujets qui vous intéressent ou qui vous questionnent ? Laissez Hélène Löning vous guider à travers ces enjeux, avec tout son engagement à construire le monde de demain, brique par brique. Bienvenue dans cet épisode spécial, en français, de la saison 1 de Tomorrow Is Our Business .

Hélène Löning est Professeur en Management à HEC Paris et en tant que telle, a la responsabilité chevillée au corps. La responsabilité de transmettre et de guider ses étudiants pour qu’ils trouvent leur chemin. La responsabilité de participer à la transformation des entreprises et des pratiques managériales.

Au sein du MSc in Accounting & Financial Management qu’elle dirige et à travers ses recherches, elle nous explique comment la comptabilité et la gestion financière sont des outils clés pour conduire le changement vers plus de responsabilité, d’humanité, de durabilité. Elle explique pourquoi l’on ne peut plus enseigner la finance sans aborder la finance verte et durable et pourquoi l’on ne peut plus mesurer la performance et diriger une entreprise sans se préoccuper des questions sociales et environnementales.

Nous entendrons sur ce sujet, Anne Frish, une ancienne directrice financière de grandes sociétés internationales, qui enseigne aujourd’hui dans le Master d’Hélène Löning la finance d’entreprise, avec un accent sur les critères environnementaux, sociaux et de gouvernance (ESG)

Dans cet entretien, Hélène Löning, nous livre sa conception du métier de professeur, autour du triptyque Teach, Think, Act. Professeur ou chercheur, elle se refuse à choisir. Son action prend du sens à la fois auprès de ses étudiants, à travers ses recherches et sur le terrain au sein des entreprises. C’est ainsi qu’elle définit son impact.

Nous interrogerons enfin, avec elle, le système éducatif français et plus particulièrement celui des grandes écoles, autour des questions de l’ouverture sociale et de la quête de sens.

Vous entendrez à ce propos, le témoignage de Bastian Kourim, un ancien étudiant d’Hélène, diplômé de la Grande école, Majeure Accounting & Financial Management, et comment il a su trouver sa voie depuis une prépa à Versailles à une startup à Berlin.

How can society be more inclusive? Why does promoting diversity matter for individuals and businesses? Matteo is committed to bringing answers to those questions through his research, his teaching, and his everyday life.

Since his coming out, he decided to give his academic career a new turn and to advocate for LGBTQ rights before expanding his field of expertise to human rights and further specializing in diversity and inclusion (D&I).

Matteo Winkler is Professor of Law and Chair of the Diversity Committee at HEC Paris. He believes that the law gives a person power and is a tool for change. He produces research with impact because he feels for the topics he chooses, as he will explain about the writing of a paper on the South African athlete Caster Semenya, a case which leads us to reflect on the perception of women’s body in society. He teaches D&I in order to help students make business and society more inclusive.

We also discussed with Matteo on gender issues and how populist discourse hinders diversity.

In this podcast, you will also hear Louis Doumier, an HEC Paris MBA graduate and founder of the LGBTQ+ Business Club in 2016, on his actions in normalizing LGBTQ topics. We also met Anna Lyamina, an MBA student from Russia who will explain to us why she was committed to being a part of this club.

Alberto Alemanno embodies a new form of an engaged academic. He coins new concepts to raise awareness, to empower people and enable them to speak up and to act. His purpose: to create a better society. Alberto Alemanno is Professor of EU law at HEC Paris, an author, a civic entrepreneur and a public interest advocate, founder of the NGO The Good Lobby. He is the kind of academic our world on fire needs.

In this episode, he explains his commitment to pioneer innovative forms of civic engagement, through in particular what he calls “citizen lobbying”, a new and powerful practice to push for progress and change the way political decisions are taken. He elaborates on the need to reinvent democracy, and on the European level, to create a political space, that is accountable to — and representative of — its over 445 million citizens.

As an academic, he considers that his role is to engage with society and contribute to a more informed debate. He has developed a 360-degree method to expand the traditional research cycle thought to include, for example, the use of social media. On that subject, you will also hear his colleague at the HEC Paris Law Department, Prof. David Restrepo Amariles.

If you want to make your voice heard but don't know how to channel your input, if you think that voting alone is not enough and that we need to push political leaders to respond to citizens’ concerns, if you think that the EU is the answer but remains too unintelligible and incomplete, if you think that academics should be more engaged, if you wonder why study law in a business school: listen to this podcast and let Alberto stimulate your thoughts!
