Working together for the ecological transition

With its first carbon assessment carried out in 2011, Arts et Métiers a pioneer in this field. With its 2023-2027 action plan, the institution is committed to a large-scale project: reducing its carbon footprint and improving the energy efficiency of its sites. A new carbon footprint assessment, carried out at the institutional level, will enable the formalization and implementation of a comprehensive policy. This policy involves a dual financial and carbon accounting approach to projects. It drives individual and collective behavioral change.

Property management that supports the ecological transition

In line with the actions already carried out on its sites, Arts et Métiers seized the opportunities offered by the France Relance plan and resilience plans to accelerate the programming of its energy improvement works and the deployment of energy management and control tools. A sustainability plan, including audits and energy master plans based on ADEME expectations, was launched in 2022 to prioritize work to improve the environmental performance of its buildings.
Work on the real estate portfolio is accompanied by a sustainable green space management plan. The institution is committed to a policy of maintaining or increasing green spaces and developing a biodiversity charter.

Reducing the carbon footprint

Developing a policy to reduce emissions and resource consumption requires a commitment on multiple levels: energy efficiency, waste reduction, research equipment, sustainable food, the impact of digital technology, changing the vehicle fleet, etc.
Many actions are already in place. Waste sorting has been implemented at all sites. A responsible purchasing policy has been launched and will be formalized in a charter. The institution, which already promotes soft mobility, notably with bicycle shelters installed at all sites and carpooling partnerships, will further promote these initiatives through a mobility plan. The KDS platform, dedicated to travel purchases, already allows the carbon footprint of trips to be measured.
Environmental commitment is both an individual and a collective issue. The institution supports staff, teachers, and students in changing their behavior and assessing greenhouse gas emissions, and supports their initiatives.

The objectives

1. Improving the carbon and energy efficiency of our business units
2. Develop a policy promoting biodiversity and sustainable management of green spaces

Anticipating changes

Today, the research projects in which the institution is involved increasingly incorporate impacts in terms of sustainable development. The action plan reinforces this momentum. The direct or indirect impacts on the achievement of national and international sustainable development goals will guide the themes chosen. Emerging research topics that are essential to sustainable engineering will thus be developed. The direct impacts of research will also be assessed and controlled. Finally, a system for ethical reflection has begun to be put in place.

Impactful research activities

The institution pursues a sustainable development policy in its research activities. A comprehensive mapping of these activities is currently underway. All European projects currently underway and submitted under the Horizon Europe program comply with the European Commission's expectations in terms of environmental impact. All European and ANR projects submitted since 2020 include an analysis of the project's contribution to gender equality. All chairs held by the institution or its commercialization subsidiary have applications in sustainable development. Laboratories are beginning to analyze the environmental impact of their activities and are invited to follow and participate in the actions of the Labos 1.5 collective. Arts et Métiers now integrates sustainable development and social responsibility into its research and innovation strategy.

Scientific integrity

Arts et Métiers is a signatory to the French charter of ethics for research professions. Several members of the institution were already involved in this area. A genuine dynamic of compliance and support has been established with the appointment in February 2023 of a Scientific Integrity Officer, who will be supported in the coming months by the creation of a Research Ethics Committee. This policy aims to support researchers so that they can comply with legislative and regulatory provisions; produce research work whose reliability can be verified; communicate appropriately; be neutral and independent in their evaluation and expertise activities; comply with the rules on multiple activities; and integrate ethical rules into the training courses in which they participate.

An open science policy

The institution has pursued an open science policy well before any contractual obligations. It has had its own open archive (SAM) since 2013. The resources deployed have enabled major achievements such as the creation of a doctoral program, a publications charter, an open science charter, and support for diamond-model publishing in the International Journal of Virtual Reality. In 2021, the open access rate for publications and theses was 73% and 88% respectively, well above the national averages (67% and 71%). The goal is to achieve 100% open access publications by 2030.

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.
