Launched in 2023, IESEG’s Transition 2026 program serves as a school-wide initiative to embed sustainability and impact across all areas of activity—academics, research, operations, and governance. The initiative aims to equip all members of the school community with the competencies, knowledge, and shared commitment needed to address global challenges.

The program rests on five core components:
1. A mandatory training series for all staff, academic and administrative, ensures a baseline understanding of sustainability principles across the institution.
2. A comprehensive review of program content seeks to integrate sustainability throughout disciplines, building on existing courses and seminars within the student sustainability journey.
3. Each department and service has developed a three-year roadmap detailing objectives, KPIs, and integration strategies aligned with institutional goals. Academic teams mapped faculty expertise and identified areas for development; administrative units translated their vision into actionable steps.
4. A Climate Action Plan outlines measurable environmental goals and institutional responsibilities.
5. A centralized dashboard tracks progress across teams and fosters transparency and accountability.

The program has energized internal governance, promoting active cross-departmental collaboration and a culture of shared ownership. It also enables transparency through an annual Impact Report, which communicates actions, results, and areas for improvement to the school community.

By engaging staff and faculty in a structured, participatory process, Transition 2026 moves beyond policy statements to concrete cultural change. It supports a consistent institutional message: sustainability is not a side initiative but a core responsibility.
