Sustainability

The Institute has been awarded the label "Développement Durable et Responsabilité Sociétale" (DD&RS), official recognition of its environmental and societal strategy. By obtaining this label, our school confirms its determination to make the ecological and social transition a lever for innovation in training, the transformation of industrial sectors and the evolution of practices in everyday life on campus.

L'ISAE-SUPAERO obtient le label DD&RS

Engagée de longue date dans la transition environnementale et sociétale, l’ISAE-SUPAERO rejoint le cercle des grandes écoles d’ingénieurs reconnues par le label DD&RS. Une distinction qui vient couronner plusieurs années d’initiatives structurantes en matière de développement durable et de responsabilité sociétale.

Le label, qui comporte plusieurs niveaux de maturité, évalue la démarche des établissements sur cinq grands axes : gouvernance, formation, recherche, gestion environnementale et politique sociale. Ce cadre d’analyse systémique couvre l’ensemble des 17 Objectifs de Développement Durable (ODD) définis par l’ONU.

Administré par le CIRSES, le label permet aux établissements engagés d’intégrer une dynamique d’amélioration continue de mutualiser les bonnes pratiques et de valoriser leurs actions à l’échelle nationale. L’ISAE-SUPAERO rejoint ainsi une communauté d’une cinquantaine d’établissements labellisés.

Pour l’ISAE‑SUPAERO, il récompense une trajectoire cohérente et ambitieuse, amorcée avec la feuille de route « Horizons » ainsi que ses engagements en matière d’inclusion, diversité et d’ouverture sociale.

Une démarche structurée autour de la feuille de route « Horizons »

L’obtention du label s’inscrit dans la continuité du déploiement de la feuille de route « Horizons », initiée en 2021. Ce document cadre fixait les priorités de l’Institut en matière de transition écologique, qu’il s’agisse de son offre de formation, de sa recherche, de ses pratiques administratives ou de la gestion de son patrimoine. Un groupe de travail multidisciplinaire, mobilisant personnels, enseignants-chercheurs et étudiants, a été chargé du pilotage de la démarche et de la constitution du dossier de labellisation.

L’établissement s’est notamment engagé à renforcer l’intégration des enjeux environnementaux dans les cursus de ses formations, à faire évoluer les critères de soutenabilité dans ses projets de recherche et à réduire son empreinte carbone.

« Ce label acte l’engagement collectif de l’Institut — étudiants, enseignants, chercheurs, personnels — à intégrer les enjeux de durabilité dans toutes nos activités, au sein de notre campus et autour des trois piliers de notre organisation : la formation, la recherche et l’innovation. Cette démarche globale DD&RS nous permet de mettre en avant nos actions, de les poursuivre et de les renforcer, pour progresser sur tous les axes, car c’est un projet d’amélioration continue », déclare Emilie Tota, Directrice adjointe, en charge de la politique de développement durable et sociétale de l’Institut.

Des actions concrètes dans les programmes de formation et sur le campus

Côté formation, notre Institut a structuré une offre avec notamment une refonte complète de sa formation ingénieur pour répondre pleinement à ces enjeux. Intégration d’enseignements en ingénierie environnementale, analyse du cycle de vie, éco-conception, modélisation énergétique : nos parcours intègrent les dimensions sociétales et environnementales pour une ingénierie responsable, engagée et durable.

En parallèle, de nombreux travaux de recherche s’intègrent dans la matrice DD&RS avec des projets liés à la décarbonation tels que le Référentiel Aviation Climat, AéroMAPS, le projet Mermoz, Genhyo, la recherche en Multidisciplinary design optimization – MDO, etc.). L’ISAE-SUPAERO développe également des partenariats de recherche avec des industriels majeurs, tels qu’Airbus via la chaire CEDAR, Daher à travers la chaire ISAAR, et Thales avec la chaire ODYCéE, tous centrés sur les enjeux de la transition écologique et l’innovation technologique. Ces collaborations soutiennent une recherche appliquée visant à réduire l’empreinte carbone et à renforcer la durabilité dans le secteur aéronautique, en répondant aux défis techniques et environnementaux actuels.

Sur le campus, une politique active a été mise en œuvre : audit et rénovation énergétique des bâtiments, rationalisation des mobilités quotidiennes, développement de dispositifs de sensibilisation internes (fresques, ateliers, formation des primo-entrants). Gestion des déchets et alimentation durables accompagnent également ces actions.

Un engagement sociétal affirmé

Parallèlement à sa stratégie durable, l’ISAE SUPAERO poursuit son engagement social à travers le programme OSE l’ISAE‑SUPAERO, initié en 2006. Ce dispositif d’ouverture sociale — labellisé « Cordées de la Réussite » — mobilise chaque année environ 150 étudiants bénévoles pour accompagner plus de 1 100 collégiens et lycéens issus de quartiers prioritaires ou de zones rurales. Le tutorat hebdomadaire, les ateliers scientifiques, techniques et sportifs, ainsi que les journées d’immersion visent à favoriser l’orientation scolaire, renforcer les vocations scientifiques, promouvoir les carrières scientifiques auprès des jeunes filles, et soutenir la réussite des élèves en situation de handicap. Depuis 2022, le dispositif OSE InGÉ étend cet accompagnement aux élèves de classes préparatoires, avec un mentorat individuel assuré par des alumni, stages d’immersion et soutien méthodologique pour près de 91 étudiant·es, majoritairement des femmes et des élèves boursiers.

L’ISAE‑SUPAERO conduit par ailleurs une politique de tolérance zéro en matière de harcèlement, de discrimination et de violences sexistes et sexuelles (HDVS), s’appuyant sur une démarche exigeante de prévention et de traitement des actes de HDVS. Depuis 2019, un plan dédié encadre des actions de sensibilisation auprès des personnels et des apprenants. Il prévoit également un dispositif de signalement, ainsi qu’un accompagnement fondé sur l’écoute active des victimes et des témoins.

L’Institut déploie en parallèle une politique soutenue en faveur de l’égalité femmes-hommes, portée par des référents et des actions structurantes.

Il affirme également son engagement en matière d’inclusion des personnes en situation de handicap à travers, entre autres, une charte et une convention contribuant à l’accompagnement des apprenants dans leurs études et leur insertion professionnelle et la compensation de la situation de handicap au travail des personnels.

Un positionnement en cohérence avec les évolutions du secteur aéronautique

Dans un contexte de mutation accélérée de l’industrie aéronautique, la labellisation DD&RS vient consolider le positionnement de l’ISAE‑SUPAERO. En tant qu’acteur de référence dans la formation des ingénieurs du secteur, l’établissement entend conjuguer exigence scientifique et responsabilité environnementale et sociétale.

Le label DD&RS, constitue à la fois une reconnaissance institutionnelle et un cadre d’amélioration continue.

Sustainability

As part of its Horizons strategy, ISAE-SUPAERO is strongly committed to taking environmental issues into account, in particular by including in the COP a target of a 25% reduction (compared with the reference year 2019) in its CO2 emissions linked to its activities, of which commuting and business travel are a component. And this is reflected in a desire to encourage the transition to and use of soft mobility in general, and cycling in particular.

Our staff and students have benefited from a number of initiatives to encourage, support and promote this mode of transport:

Introduction of the Sustainable Mobility Package,
Loan of electrically-assisted bicycles for business trips,
Safety training (Remise en selle, La route vue du guidon),
Self-service bicycle repair and inflation stations on campus,
Technical inspection workshops for your bikes,
Distribution of safety kits,
Replacing “wheel-clamp” parking spaces with bicycle racks,
Participation in the AYAV Challenge (Allons-y à vélo).
Pro-Vélo Employer Objective

To promote this commitment, in 2022 the Institut launched the Objectif Employeur Pro-Vélo initiative. Following a support programme and an audit based on a set of specifications covering 5 areas (management and strategy, communication and mobilisation, services, safety and equipment), we were awarded SILVER-level certification!

This result is a real recognition of the work carried out by the various departments working under the impetus and coordination of the DDRS section of the RSQMR department to take positive action on the environment, but also on the well-being of staff. In fact, the benefits are as numerous as they are beneficial! (CO2 savings, financial savings, gains in physical and mental health, time savings, gains in autonomy and flexibility, etc.).

ISAE-SUPAERO is determined to support its staff and students in cycling to and from work, and more and more of them are doing so on an occasional or regular basis!

ISAE-SUPAERO publishes its carbon footprint assessment

Publication Date

22 October 2024

Category

Institute

Tag

Sustainability

In 2019, the Institute has drawn up a roadmap, called Horizons, to reduce its environmental impact. From campus management to integrating the decarbonisation of aviation into teaching and research, numerous actions have been identified, some of which have already been carried out or are underway.

This roadmap is linked to three COP objectives, to be achieved by 2026:

More than 50% of research projects targeting decarbonisation or linked to the transition to sustainable aerospace
More than 3,000 “sustainable development” ECTS awarded
Less than 8,000 tCO2e emitted per year.

The school has therefore made strong commitments.

What is the purpose of the carbon footprint?

Following the IPCC’s assessment of global warming and at COP21, the French government undertook to reduce its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 55% by 2030 compared with 1990 levels, in order to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050.

Since 2012, public institutions have been legally obliged to publish their GHG emissions report every three years. As part of its Horizons plan, ISAE-SUPAERO is going even further by calculating and publishing its GHG emissions report every year. This makes it possible to monitor changes in emissions as closely as possible and to take action to limit them. What’s more, the Institute has not waited for the 2023 regulatory requirement to carry out its GHG assessment, taking into account all its activities. It has in fact been carrying out its carbon footprint since 2019, calculating the quantities of greenhouse gases emitted by all its activities under six headings: purchasing, travel, energy, fixed assets, refrigeration production and waste.

But what is a carbon footprint?

To operate and train the aerospace engineers of tomorrow, the school has to buy equipment, heat its offices, maintain its buildings and run servers; staff have to travel, use computers, send emails, hold video conferences and so on.

Each of these actions has an impact on the environment: buying equipment means using raw materials and petrol to transport it; heating offices means using the city’s heating network; using IT equipment means consuming raw materials and electricity; travelling means consuming fuel… All these activities emit greenhouse gases. The carbon footprint therefore consists of calculating the GHG emissions generated by the activity. Since carbon is the main GHG, GHG emissions are expressed in carbon equivalents (= CO2e).

The results

In 2023, ISAE-SUPAERO emitted 8,925 tCO2e. This is equivalent to driving around the world 1,160 times, and is the average annual carbon footprint of 990 French people. The 2023 target of emitting less than 9,200 tCO2e has therefore been achieved. The four main areas of emissions are purchasing, energy, travel and fixed assets.

Thanks to the many efforts made by the Institute, ISAE-SUPAERO’s emissions have been falling since 2019.

Imbued with the pioneering spirit of the aerospace sector

ISAE-SUPAERO offers a range of courses designed to meet the major challenges facing our societies. And there’s no shortage of interest, as evidenced by the renewed attractiveness of its courses! With 356 new students this year, including 61 young women, the General Engineering course has confirmed its excellent level of recruitment. ISAE-SUPAERO continues to rank among the top engineering schools chosen by students leaving preparatory classes (No. 5 for all schools combined).

Start of the academic year 2024 ISAE-SUPAERO

As a sign of the excellence of the Institute’s research activities, 85 doctoral students are joining the campus this year. This figure, which is on the rise (there were 70 for the start of the 2023 academic year), brings the total number of doctoral students in ISAE-SUPAERO laboratories to 285.

The campus is also continuing to expand internationally, with 42% of students coming from 48 countries (up 2 points on the start of the 2023 academic year). They account for 91% of recruits to the Master in Aerospace Engineering (MAE), which has 31 nationalities among its recruits. With 168 students, this 100% English-speaking programme is at full capacity and continues to grow, despite very strong international competition. The 14 Advanced Masters® programmes welcomed 190 new students, the same number as last year.

Diversification of recruitment

Finally, the Institute is diversifying its recruitment. Thirteen of this year’s entrants to the General Engineering programme are university graduates. This diversity is also reflected in the attractiveness of the Industrial Engineering speciality apprenticeship programme. Launched in 2020 and deployed in three ISAE Group schools, this course is open to DUT/BUT (68% of recruitment this year) and licence (13% of recruitment) students, in addition to preparatory classes. For the start of the new academic year, 74 new students will be enrolled (20% of them women), including 30 on the ISAE-SUPAERO campus alone.

Figures for 2024

The ISAE-SUPAERO campus welcomes nearly 1,930 students this year:

1,040 in the General Engineering programme (including 356 new students);
96 in the Advanced Engineering apprenticeship programme (30 new students);
315 in the Master in Aerospace Engineering programme, including 168 new students (91% of them international);
190 on all 14 Advanced Masters® programmes;
285 PhD students, including 85 recruited this year.

Graduates: three-quarters of students find a job before completing their studies

ISAE-SUPAERO’s training programmes ensure that young graduates find exceptional employment, in line with their expectations.

According to the Institute’s 2024 “First Job” survey, 74.5% of graduates from all courses found a job even before graduation, and 88% said they were “satisfied” or “very satisfied” with their first job. The Aeronautics/Space/Defence (ASD) sector, driven by strong growth momentum and engaged in an exceptional period of transformation, attracted 70% of our young 2023 graduates, all courses taken together. This was followed by the ecological transition (6%) and energy (5%).

A historic date for ISAE-SUPAERO

On Tuesday 10 September, after ten years as Director General of the Institute, Olivier Lesbre, an armament engineer, handed over the reins to his successor, Marie-Hélène Baroux. The Institute’s new Director General praised the legacy of her predecessor, who “placed the Institute at the global forefront of aerospace engineering training”. Also a weapons engineer, she will be responsible for continuing the transformation of the Institute in a context of competition and major societal changes.

“The Institute is at a very important point in its history,” said Marwan Lahoud, Chairman of the Board of Directors of ISAE-SUPAERO. “We need to reinvent both aviation in a finite world and the way we learn and teach.”

A change of dimension

These changes were initiated under the leadership of Olivier Lesbre, who was “determined to open up new horizons and develop partnerships”, emphasised Caroline Krykwinski, Director of Human Resources at the French Defence Procurement Agency (Direction Générale de l’Armement). In the space of a decade, ISAE-SUPAERO has changed dimension, “considerably enriching its range of training courses, increasing the density of its research activities and repositioning the school at international level”.

Caroline Krykwinski also paid tribute to Olivier Lesbre’s “high level of professionalism”, as his ten years at the head of ISAE-SUPAERO marked the end of a career “serving the general interest, aeronautics and the world of defence”. The now ex-CEO emphasised two points that are close to his heart: “promoting the French model of educational excellence that the preparatory classes and the Grandes Écoles represent” and “supporting the aeronautical sector by responding to the new challenges it is facing”.

Major challenges

Marie-Hélène Baroux knows all about these challenges, having served as Deputy Director General of ISAE-SUPAERO between 2019 and 2021. Aware of the Institute’s “considerable societal impact”, she also emphasised the new geopolitical issues it will have to address. She, who had a long career with the DGA, stressed “the strengthening of the Institute’s links with defence, in particular with the introduction of new courses”. She also emphasised “the consolidation of alliances with our partners in the aerospace industry”.

“In a context of rapid change, for both aeronautics and space, we have a duty to provide our industrial and technological base with engineers of the highest scientific level, who are passionate about the aerospace sector, master the complexity of systems, possess the keys to innovate and find solutions, and are aware that they are at the service of tomorrow’s society”, she insisted.

Diversification of profiles

The first woman to head ISAE-SUPAERO, she also advocates “increasing the diversity of profiles, which is difficult in the aerospace sector”: “Diversity brings richness, in the sharing of points of view and ideas, it stimulates and strengthens innovation as well as collective intelligence; I can testify to this through my own professional career”.

"If someone had told me at the start of my career that I would be doing this job, I wouldn't have believed them. But I have the impression that my career path has naturally led me here."

In the right place, at the right time: it is with serenity and “a great deal of pride” that Marie-Hélène Baroux, a general weapons engineer, has taken up her post as Director General of ISAE-SUPAERO on 1ᵉʳ August 2024. She succeeds Olivier Lesbre, who left his mark on the Institute (2014-2024).

A native of Toulouse and the mother of three children, she knows the Institut well and is very fond of it for several reasons. Her father, Jean Pinet, a test pilot on Concorde, came through Supaéro and its student clubs. Marie-Hélène Baroux partly followed in his footsteps, taking advantage of the opportunity during her studies at Télécom Paris to do her third year at the Toulouse school, where she went on to do a Master’s degree (1993).

Her name is also associated with ISAE-SUPAERO, where she was Deputy Director from 2019 to 2021. In the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic, “I was responsible for the crisis unit and for preserving students’ living and studying conditions”, she explains. She was also responsible for implementing the Horizons roadmap, ISAE-SUPAERO’s strategy for sustainable development. It’s a subject close to her heart.

Specialist in aerospace engineering and telecommunications

But let’s go back to 1993. After completing her higher education, Marie-Hélène Baroux joined the French Defence Procurement Agency (DGA), where she spent “a long career”. Her dual specialisation in telecommunications and aerospace engineering is a distinctive feature of her career, as she has held alternating positions in these two sectors. This diversity of points of view “has served her well and the projects I’ve worked on”, she says.

At DGA, she was in charge of expertise and tests in the field of electromagnetic compatibility at the Toulouse Aerospace Test Centre (CEAT, now DGA Techniques aérospatiales). As part of DGA’s Operations Division, she also took charge of the CERES programme, a constellation of three electromagnetic intelligence satellites. Four years later, as part of DGA’s strategy department, she steered the ramp-up of European cooperation on weapons programmes.

She also worked at ONERA and OCCAr (Organisation conjointe de coopération en matière d’armement), where she was responsible for setting up the cybersecurity and IT security aspects of the avionics and ground systems for the A400M military aircraft.

Solid management experience

Another special feature of Marie-Hélène Baroux’s career is that “I’ve been through all the stages of management, from small teams to project management to running a test centre”, experiences that have nurtured her thinking on management: “Working on management means working on people. Just before her appointment to the General Management of ISAE-SUPAERO, she worked in the Human Resources Department of the DGA, where her main missions were to consolidate the managerial function, transform working methods towards more collaborative working and deploy hybrid working.”

In her new role, she will be looking to train future engineers for positions of responsibility. “Engineers have an important technical role, but many of them are also involved in management.” Today’s manufacturers are keen to develop soft skills, and with the right method, we can provide a different kind of management that benefits everyone.

“Maintaining the aerospace industry’s place in the world”

Marie-Hélène Baroux has a major ally in her new role: the 2022-2026 Contract of Objectives and Performance (COP), which sets out the Institute’s strategic objectives. “It’s a very structuring document that is heading in the right direction”, she says, adding that she will be paying close attention to “strengthening certain areas”.

“First of all, there is the consolidation of our relations with defence”, she notes, emphasising the need to strengthen the Institute’s links with its supervisory ministry. “The aerospace skills of the engineers we train can play an important role in a troubled international context.”

She also emphasised ISAE-SUPAERO’s “major role” in supporting Europe’s aerospace industry: “We have a duty to provide it with the talent it needs to maintain its place among the world’s best.” She also wants to work to strengthen the Institute’s links with the space industry, “a highly competitive and rapidly changing sector”.

We have a duty to provide the European aerospace industry with the talent it needs to maintain its place among world leaders.
Marie-Hélène Baroux points to the ISAE Group, which brings together the French aeronautical and space engineering schools under a common banner, as a major asset in meeting the needs of industry for training in aeronautics and space. “The ISAE Group meets a key challenge for the aerospace industry in terms of the diversity of skills and profiles it needs. It already brings this diversity together, and in particular has created an engineering apprenticeship programme, which is very popular today”.

The rapprochement of ISAE-SUPAERO with ENAC, in a context of rapid change in the higher education landscape, will be one of his priority projects: “This rapprochement is important for thinking about the air transport of tomorrow and for developing the skills and research that the sector needs to transform itself.”

Top-level engineers to “transform our society”

In addition to the Institute’s contribution to the air transport, space and defence sectors, she also emphasises ISAE-SUPAERO’s role in training engineers capable of meeting the challenges of tomorrow’s world. Training high-level engineers means preparing for the future by providing the thinking matter and talent that will help “shape the world we live in,” she stresses. The aerospace sector is often the source of cutting-edge technologies that will then permeate the whole of society. Training in aerospace engineering means seizing the opportunity to transform our society with new approaches.

Finally, Marie-Hélène Baroux attaches particular importance to the diversity of profiles: “As a woman in a very male-dominated environment, I can testify to the strength of gender diversity.” As Deputy Director of the Institute, she worked closely with the Institute’s social outreach programme, OSE l’ISAE-SUPAERO. “The name is well chosen. There’s a place for everyone in aerospace engineering, you just have to dare!”
