Arts et Métiers its commitment to ecological transition and social responsibility and structures the actions already initiated in these different areas of activity by adopting its DDD&RS action plan. The plan is based on the five pillars of the DD&RS label, in line with the objectives of the French government's energy efficiency plan, the Convention for the Transition of Higher Education Institutions (CTES), the Ademe framework, and the United Nations' 17 Sustainable Development Goals.

Training in technological skills to adapt, take care of oneself, others, and one's living environment
With a view to building resilient infrastructure and promoting responsible and sustainable industrialization, Arts et Métiers adopted a proactive and forward-thinking approach. A policy to integrate SD&S issues into training was voted on in September 2022. Its ambition is to promote the skills needed to develop all possible technological trajectories in order to train the actors of technodiversity.
Technodiversity to adapt to different possible futures
Since the start of the 2022-2023 academic year, ADEME's four transition scenarios have been integrated into the curriculum as a means of considering possible futures in this period of transition. With this framework, Arts et Métiers train engineering specialists who can mobilize scientific and technical knowledge to build and respond to possible futures and enable adaptation to any type of situation. They will be able to mobilize green technologies for society, developing approaches to regional cooperation where technological autonomy, reuse, and low-tech solutions are central concerns. In the projects they develop, students must position their proposals within one of these four scenarios. This positioning will contextualize the many applied activities and projects that punctuate their training. The aim is to develop engineering practices and skills, based on solid scientific and technical fundamentals, within a new paradigm adapted to the challenges and a changing and variable environment. This will give students the means to take concrete action in their profession.
A participatory and collective approach
The action plan is based on a participatory and collective approach to testing this framework. This integrative process, based on the diversity and innovative capacity of the institution, will enable us in year 1 to define the support provided to trainers, clarify the positioning of training courses, and measure technodiversity and the capacity to cover all possible scenarios.
In the medium term, training courses will be adapted to develop skills for taking a holistic approach, developing forward-looking analysis and a reflective approach, co-constructing diagnoses and solutions, implementing transitions, acting responsibly, and positioning oneself in a debate. In the longer term, the objective is to integrate educational achievements around different technical trajectories into the Evolutive Learning Factories. This will enable us to continue to fulfill one ofArts et Métiers missionsArts et Métiers to develop support and transfer initiatives with socio-economic actors and to support regional development.
Accelerating the environmental transition through continuing education with AMTalents
In order to remain attractive and competitive, companies must take into account major systemic risks related to the environment at the heart of their strategies. We find this ambition at AMTalents, a subsidiary of FC arts et métiers offers a complete segment of its training catalog dedicated to implementing environmental transition.
By developing short inter- and intra-company training courses lasting between 1 and 5 days, AMTalents enables employees to initiate the changes needed to make their activities more sustainable.
The catalog offers training courses such as "Eco-Innovation, Challenges and Specificities," "Discovering and Implementing an Eco-Design Approach," and "Recycling Channels: Definitions and Overview," enabling participants to achieve a variety of objectives ranging from mastering the culture and basic concepts of CSR to implementing case studies. In addition to these initiatives, AMTalents offers customized training courses tailored to the needs of companies on these topics.
