Earth Week 2025 at INSEAD
May, 13-16 2025, Europe & Asia Campuses
Call to Action
Dear INDEVOR Global Club Members,
As part of the preparations for the event, the INSEAD Earth Week Committee is looking for companies and individuals to join as speakers and partners in the Earth Week events at the Fontainebleau and Singapore campuses.
If you or your company are interested in participating, please reach out to Jean-Michel Autelli at [email protected].
About the Earth Week:
Earth Week 2025 is INSEAD’s cross-campus sustainability and climate action week. It focuses on practical, career-oriented programming that connects students with companies and organizations leading in sustainability across Europe and Asia.
The core event is the Green Symposium, a dual-campus career fair for roles in climate tech, ESG, green finance, and sustainable strategy. Participating employers include startups, VC firms, and multinationals with active sustainability mandates.
The week features a series of focused panel discussions related to (but we’re fully flexible if there are any proposals):
1. Green Energy & Climate Tech.
2. Smart Cities & Sustainable Buildings.
3. Green & Impact Finance.
4. Climate-focused VC & Entrepreneurship.
5. (Tentative) Sustainable Consumer Goods & Circular Retail.
Interactive experiences anchor the week with student and alumni engagement:
6. Climate Fresk (Singapore): Systems-thinking workshop with certified facilitators.
7. Reconnecting with Nature (Fontainebleau): Forest bathing and discussion for students and alumni (organized by the INDEVOR Global Club).
8. Gardens by the Bay (Singapore): Guided visit on urban biodiversity and climate design.
9. Sustainable Culinary Workshop: Hands-on session exploring low-impact food systems.
Green Symposium, our flagship event:
Another big event that has never happened on campus before is the Green Symposium, a sustainability-related career fair. We need at least 5 companies to confirm the event on any campus, 10-15 companies per campus is our goal considering time constraints.
Key partners include the INSEAD Hoffman Institute, the Global INDEVOR Club, the National University of Singapore Business School, three INSEAD Student Clubs, ESSEC, and a mix of Singaporean and French firms across real estate, energy, consumer goods, and finance. MBA and MIM students are involved as organizers and participants.
Earth Week’s value lies in providing visibility to sustainability-focused career pathways, creating platforms for dialogue between students and companies, and offering experiential learning beyond the classroom. It reinforces INSEAD’s positioning as a hub for business-driven climate leadership.
We count on you!
Signed, the 2024-2026 INDEVOR Global Impact Network Executive Committee
