The HEC CSR challenge

March 10-11, 2023 | Online

The HEC Montréal CSR Challenge is a bilingual case competition organized by HEC Montréal and the Association des Étudiants MBA (AEMBA). It is a two-day competition focusing on issues and challenges in environmental sustainability and corporate social responsibility. We welcome MBA students from around the world to compete in an online/hybrid competition to provide solutions to advance the contribution of business leaders to the betterment of their communities.

This year, the competition will take place in a hybrid format. All cases will be presented to the judges in virtual mode. Teams can also choose to visit the HEC Montréal campus, where they will be offered work rooms to prepare their cases. In keeping with the spirit of this eco-responsible competition, HEC Montréal will be purchasing GHG offsets related to the competition for teams visiting the campus in person. There will be networking events organized in person to meet members of the MBA and Montreal business community, such as a cocktail party. More information will be sent to teams prior to the event.
