The MSc in Sustainable Luxury Management is the first program designed by a business school in France to train the next generation of leaders in all facets of the demanding luxury industry and prepare them to integrate sustainable thinking into every aspect of the business, which has become the biggest strategic focus for luxury houses in the coming years.

Audencia is a leading school and pioneer in sustainability. In 2004, Audencia became the first French school to sign the UN Global Compact, demonstrating its commitment to global sustainability. It has partnered with organizations such as the WWF and established Gaïa, the first French business school exclusively focused on social and ecological transition.

In order to professionalize students in all 3 segments of sustainability, the courses focus on issues to improve the condition of people, our planet, and the concern of profit.

In a global and international approach, students are trained in all main luxury segments: Personal Luxury Goods (fashion, beauty, watches & jewelry, etc.), Experiential Luxury (hospitality, gastronomy, wine & spirits, art, and travel), and Luxury Transportation (cars, ferries, jets).

The courses, developed by highly experienced luxury industry professionals, cover a wide range of topics from product development to marketing, communications, digital management, finance, logistics, law, and entrepreneurship.

Supported by the most iconic luxury groups like LVMH, Richemont Group, or Chanel and a professional board of luxury experts, the program's teaching is experiential, engaging, and close to the luxury reality.

Overall, this future-focused master program, held at the new Audencia campus in Paris, is the first Master of Science in France to train students both in Luxury and Sustainable Management.
