École nationale des ponts et chaussées regularly evaluates its sustainable development and social responsibility practices (SD&SR), on the basis of the Loi Grenelle criteria proposed by the Conferences of Grandes Écoles Conference and of University Presidents. A level of self-assessment and an action plan have been set for each set of criteria.
Dévelop'Ponts, a School student association created in 2001, takes action towards sustainable development and helps raise awareness among stakeholders.
With its six main priorities (Solidarity, Environment, Humanitarian action, Equality, Social Action and the Student Refugee Programme), the association is active in many areas and organises a wide range of events such as charity runs, humanitarian projects, coffee discussions, tutoring, and food distribution.
The Student Forum for a Sustainable Future (Forum Etudiant pour un avenir Durable - FEAD) is the association that organizes the Student Forum for a Sustainable Future. Held at the School, this forum brings together organizations (companies, associations, public authorities, etc.) and students to discuss sustainable development and the social economy. The organizations present are subject to a selection charter drawn up by the team, in line with the values and meaning that the students want to give to their profession.
