ESCP Business School is a European school of management with multiple campuses. Founded in 1819, ESCP Business School is driven by a mission to educate and inspire accountable, bold, and creative leaders capable of navigating a complex and interconnected world. Under its current Bold and United 2026–2030 strategic plan, the institution is evolving from the world’s first business school into the first European University of Management. This evolution is supported by a commitment to interdisciplinary excellence, integrating specialised schools of Technology and Governance to equip graduates with the hybrid skills necessary for a digital and globalised era.
ESCP’s pedagogical vision is rooted in four core humanistic values: Excellence, Singularity, Creativity, and Plurality. These principles guide the school in fostering an inclusive environment that celebrates diversity and merit. With over 100 nationalities represented across its six European campuses, ESCP promotes a unique multiculturalism that encourages students to step out of their comfort zones and lead with empathy and ethics.
The school’s mission also prioritises societal impact, focusing on sustainability, innovation, and responsible management. Through its dedicated research centres, ESCP advances knowledge across key areas such as geopolitics and digital transformation. By bridging the gap between business acumen and humanistic values, ESCP ensures that its 10,000 students and 90,000+ Alumni are not only prepared for professional success but are also committed to contributing positively to the common good and driving meaningful, human-centred transformations across the global business community.
