emlyon's distinctive academic signature, we are makers, transforms learning into a lifelong endeavor to make a difference in the world and provide a real alternative in its environment. It sees learning not only as the transfer of academic knowledge, but also as a "course of learning experiences" that empowers students to forge a constant link between thinking and doing: "doing to learn, learning to do".

Through these collective and individual learning experiences, emlyon has set out to train responsible managers capable of taking up the challenges of today and tomorrow. This general-interest calling lies at the heart of the school's identity and is written into its articles of association since July 2021 when it transitioned to the status of a benefit corporation.

It is one of the oldest business schools in Europe. emlyon is among the 1% of global business schools to be accredited by the three international accreditation systems: AACSB, EQUIS and AMBA. As such, it merits its status as a global-ranking school of business and management.
