EHL Sustainability Week 2021
Kick-Off of the Sustainability Week 2021! Overview of the exciting events organized on all of EHL's campuses: Lausanne, Passugg and Singapore.
Mr. Teng, former President and CEO of The Leading Hotels of the World discusses with Pr. Martin-Rios the hospitality industry’s approach to sustainability. In his talk, Mr. Teng answers the two most pressing questions for our industry:
What are the structural obstacles which have prevented the hotel industry in taking a lead in sustainability, and what can the next generation leaders do differently?
Impact Investment

The student council holds multiple podcasts during sustainability week, in an endeavor to familiarize and raise awareness amongst individuals to adopt a more sustainable lifestyle. These podcasts will cover various topics related to sustainable finance, education, sociology, and hospitality.
Currently, women account for 60 percent of our student body. Yet, among our 25,000+ alumni, only 17 percent of the executive roles are occupied by women. This modest number mirrors the situation in the hospitality industry as a recent study showed that only 12 percent of top hospitality positions such as MD, President, Partner, Principal, and CEO roles are held by women. Worldwide, less than 5 percent of the top leadership functions across business and politics are occupied by women. So what is happening? Why is there such a leakage in the female talent pipeline?

A discussion about fast fashion led by three key speakers from the sustainable fashion industry. Among them, we will welcome two EHL students who have built their own thrift shop and resale online shopping Instagram platform @Deshabillez_nous, as well as the founder of ethical fashion label Apesigned – Jeanne von Segesser, and the founder of a slow fashion Instagram store of second-hand and upcycled clothing - @Sopo.loz. They will discuss the benefits of ethical clothing, link it to consumer behaviour and responsibility. Finally, the speakers will also share their views on corporate sustainability and transparent communication on social media. How can you communicate your sustainable values and actions to the rest of the community?
Is slow fashion just a trend or should it become the new normal?
