The alumni and guests of the MBA in CSR & Organizational Performance (MARPO) gathered at the Campus de l'Arche to celebrate the program’s 10th anniversary. It was an evening rich in professional networking, and deep reflections on the future of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and sustainable performance.

A Night Dedicated to Sustainable Commitment

Isabelle Nicolai, Head of the MARPO program and the event's organizer, brought together a community of alumni committed to positive ecological and societal transitions. The majority of the attendees were CSR professionals who had completed the program, sharing their experiences and strengthening their networks.
