CSR Student Business Project

Contributing to EHL Group’s strategic priority, Corporate Social Responsibility, EHL introduces Corporate Social Responsibility Student Business Project (CSR SBP), enabling students to contribute and give back to their community.

More precisely, these SBPs aim to underpin a local effort to improve the environment or society while maintaining an economic approach. In this vein, companies applying for a “CSR SBP” must be based in Switzerland and must have some link to the school , meaning being part of the hospitality industry or share common ground in terms of sustainable development, innovation, a societal issue, etc.

Each semester, one CSR SBP will be granted to an organization free of charge, following a selection process by an EHL commission.
