ESCP Business School (native name "Ecole Superieure de Commerce de Paris") is a European school of management with campuses in Paris, Berlin, London, Madrid, Turin, and Warsaw. In France, ESCP is one of the most selective French Grandes écoles and referred to in France as one of the "Trois Parisiennes" (three Parisians), together with HEC Paris and ESSEC Business School. Established in 1819, it is considered the world's oldest business school.
The school was established in Paris on 1 December 1819 by two former Napoleonic soldiers, Germain Legret and Amédée Brodart. Germain Legret had opened two business schools in Paris in 1815 and 1818 but they closed their doors rapidly.
It was modeled on the first Grande Ecole, the Ecole Polytechnique founded by Lazare Carnot and Gaspard Monge, but was initially much more modest, mainly because it had not been supported by the state. Since the 1820s, the school had international exposure but it was not the only business school open to international students.
As the French scholar, Adrien Jean-Guy Passant recalls, other business schools as well as some polytechnics with trade departments welcomed foreigners from the start of the 19th century in Europe. It gradually gained in stature and importance during the 19th century and moved to its current Parisian location on Avenue de la Republique in 1898.
OUR FOUR VALUES ARE THE DNA NUCLEUS OF THE SCHOOL
EUROPEAN AT HEART
As European humanists, we believe that business nurtures society and therefore it can help lead the world in the right direction.
Created 200 years ago by entrepreneurs, we continue to develop creativity by encouraging curiosity, boldness, and ambition throughout our 6 integrated campuses in Europe, all of which are led by principles that inspire collaborative leadership and progress for a stronger world.
By encompassing pluralism through respect for cultures and all forms of diversity, we develop a singular concept to management disciplines based on a multicultural, interdisciplinary, and open approach.
We cultivate academic excellence in order to shape leaders who are capable of doing business in an openly responsible manner and with an equally open approach that seeks to move beyond boundaries.
DRIVING RESPONSIBILITY
We integrate sustainability and ethics across our educational activities, research, and internal processes, with the ambition to educate responsible managers and train better leaders able to tackle the unprecedented environmental and social challenges that our societies and economies are facing.
Building on our European roots, we deeply believe a new type of responsible leadership is required to face contemporary challenges, combining reflexivity, the ability to tackle the complexities of the world, and the willingness to act for positive impact.
