After 3 labeled projects in Gironde and one 4th in Vendée, the Sorbonne Business School is pursuing its CSR commitment in Oise with the reforestation of a 4-hectare area, planned following pedunculate oak dieback.

As of 2020, the Sorbonne Business School has committed to offsetting the carbon footprint of emissions linked to its international missions: our establishment is thus the first university to have implemented LBC-certified carbon offset projects.

At Chevrières, over 4600 seedlings will see the light of day, and the species chosen for this reforestation are varied: chestnut, beech, small-leaf lime, hornbeam, warty birch etc.

These deciduous species have the advantage of better withstanding the site's low water reserves, and will enable a total of around 264 tonnes of CO2e to be stored.

Created by the French Ministry of Ecological Transition and Solidarity with the collaboration of numerous partners, the Label Bas-Carbone (LBC) aims to contribute to achieving France's climate objectives. It rewards those involved in the fight against climate change.
