“The variety of classes at ESDES have allowed me to understand many facets of my job today.”
Jade Tourrette
4TH-YEAR STUDENT
I’ve been concerned about environmental issues for a long time. In high school, I was already involved in several associations within my community and at school. Being from the Ardèche region, protecting nature and its fragile balance is important to me. That’s why I came to ESDES – to develop these values and this sense of involvement. With The New Locals, I have been able to take concrete action to develop eco-friendly practices on campus.

ESDES ENACTUS TEAM LEADER
The ESDES Enactus program allows us to develop our interpersonal, managerial and entrepreneurial skills through a unique experience! I loved playing a part in addressing society’s challenges by thinking up creative and cooperative projects.
What our MSc graduates have to say
I chose Esdes over other business schools in France, for an MSc in Circular Economy, because after reviewing each school’s courses, Esdes was the only school that provides a 360° view of sustainability and Circular Economy
Célio M.
2nd year International Supply Chain Management Master Student
After my degree, I can confirm the program provided essential analytical skills for navigating the volatile business world, emphasizing cultural impact on decision-making and cross-border expansion. Taught by qualified professors and a supportive coordinator, it’s the only Lyon Catholic University and Esdes program with a truly multicultural class. After three years, I’ve made friends on every continent.
Clément Barioz
Master student – Creator of Le Local Piscine
Wastes are a business on any markets where there are still wastes. Intern in a shop specialized in swimming pool materials, I just realized the opportunity to reuse, remake and renew the full range of swimming pool robots and motorized tools. We created L Local Piscine in 2020, with over 200% of growth we are convinced that the second-hand market will emerge as a natural way to equip personal pools. Circular economy is the key on both economic and ecological issues.
Montabert
Lionel Goyet, HRD
Montabert has been committed for several years now in a circular economy scheme, such as the creation of an internal department for the “remanufacturing” of its own products, in Lyon and for Montabert in the United States. The MSc Circular Economy and Sustainable innovation will allow our teams to consolidate their achievements but also to widen their knowledge.
From my point of view, as a HR Manager, it’s a great advantage to hire candidates with this additional education, given our new ecological and economic stakes.

From her time at ESDES, Victoire remembers…
The taste for teamwork and the spirit of cooperation: she remembers Fabienne Gautrot and Laura Servant Volquin who knew how to share their passion for marketing. Now she uses the project management and teamwork skills she first experienced in class at ESDES on a daily basis.
