The programme
Luxury is an industry despite having other definitions and given the economic expansion of different economic groups, globalization, and democratization of luxury items, this industry is no longer composed of small niche companies as it used to be. It represents a true macroeconomic sector, targeting large numbers and under the direction of managers. And consumers have also changed their buying behaviour, being conscious of the choices they make when purchasing a product and/or service from a particular brand and taking into account the culture of that company, its social responsibility actions, and its commitment to sustainability. Sustainable luxury requires truly excellent social and environmental performance. Sustainable luxury would not only be the vehicle for greater respect for the environment and social development, but it will also be synonymous with culture, art, and innovation from different nationalities while maintaining the legacy of local craftsmanship. It is also a return to the ancestral essence of luxury, careful buying, artisanal manufacturing, the aesthetic beauty of materials in their broadest sense, and respect for social and environmental issues.
The Global Nano Sustainable Luxury Management is 40 hours long and its main focus is to train managers to understand the specificities of sustainable luxury business management and to form conscientious and skilled managers to work in the sector. The program brings together experts and teachers from France, India, Africa, and Latin America contributing with brands and projects established to recreate the luxury towards sustainability and is a partnership project between SKEMA Business School, SKEMA Brazil, and the Centre for Sustainable Luxury Studies.
