Your business decisions are calculated.
What about your personal ones?

This Initiative is a concerted effort by the INSEAD community, led by INSEAD, the INSEAD Alumni Association, INDEVOR, the Hoffmann Institute and the Community Impact Challenge. Recognizing climate change as a global challenge, and in line with being the “Business school for the World” we are inviting all members of the global INSEAD community to explore ways to make more informed and sustainable decisions in their daily lives.

Participation in the Climate Hero Initiative is completely free of charge. This awareness campaign is not intended to solicit investments in offsetting projects.

The carbon footprint calculation should encompass emissions resulting from your individual lifestyle choices, including dietary habits, home heating or cooling methods, and commuting practices. Understanding how each of these factors contributes to your overall carbon footprint can empower you to make more environmentally conscious decisions.

Your carbon footprint data is not collected, stored, or published by INSEAD, the INSEAD Alumni Association, INDEVOR, the Hoffmann Institute, or the Community Impact Challenge.

We partner with an external provider, Climate Hero; please refer to their Privacy Policy for more information. The campaign is hosted on the website of the Community Impact Challenge; please refer to their GDPR policy.

The carbon footprint calculation provides an estimation based on your answers and the specifics of your location. It only takes 5 minutes to complete, and the goal is to raise awareness among a large global audience. The Climate Hero tool also offers concrete actions you can take immediately if you want to reduce your carbon footprint.

Yes! We encourage you to first complete the ClimateHero survey and then become a ClimateHero Ambassador. Rally your personal network and spread the word on social media. If you're interested in becoming an Ambassador, please contact us for more details. Your involvement helps amplify our collective effort towards sustainability.

Fantastic! We appreciate your previous participation and encourage you to complete the survey again, as you may observe progress or gain new insights. Furthermore, we encourage you to inspire other INSEAD community members to follow your lead. Thank you for your continued support!

INSEAD recognizes climate change as a pivotal issue and is committed to taking concrete actions to address it. The school has made a specific pledge to reduce its Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions. Additionally, INSEAD has revamped its MBA curriculum to integrate sustainability concepts into every core course. This curriculum change is supported by extensive research conducted by our faculty, who have produced hundreds of studies on the topic.

Once you complete your carbon footprint calculation, Climate Hero can email your results to you if you choose to receive them. We prioritize your privacy and only collect anonymous participation data. Aggregated participation results may be published in the fourth quarter of 2024.
