Three-week challenge turns sustainable choices into collective action
From 26 January to 16 February 2026, 1,166 members of the ESCP community, including students from ESCP’s Bachelor and MSc programmes, took part in the latest edition of the Ma Petite Planète (MPP) challenge. Organised across ESCP’s Berlin, London, Paris, and Turin campuses, this three-week initiative mobilised students around concrete environmental actions in their daily lives.
Measuring collective impact
Ma Petite Planète, co-founded by ESCP alumnus Clément Debosque, is a gamified, team-based environmental challenge. Through a mobile platform, participants complete practical sustainability challenges — such as reducing food waste, limiting energy consumption, choosing low-carbon transport or improving responsible consumption habits — and earn points for their league.
The Winter 2026 edition generated measurable environmental impact:
- 100,327 kg of CO₂ equivalent avoided
- 24,469,000 litres of water saved
- 839 kg of waste prevented
- 7,932 hours of environmental training equivalent completed

An expanding multi-campus initiative
This edition engaged students across ESCP’s European campuses. Initially launched at the ESCP Paris campus, the challenge has progressively expanded across European campuses, reflecting the School’s ambition to make the challenge a flagship initiative at the institutional level.
Turin stood out in the campus rankings, with Turin leagues achieving the highest average scores. The Turin Bachelor league ranked first overall, with 137 average points and 874 challenges completed. The competitive format encouraged teamwork, peer accountability and collective motivation, creating a strong dynamic within programmes and across campuses.
Sustainability beyond the classroom
The MPP initiative complements ESCP’s broader sustainability strategy. At ESCP, 100% of students receive sustainability training. Sustainability is embedded across programmes, and students are encouraged to understand environmental issues not only conceptually but through lived experience.
By translating environmental principles into measurable action, the challenge supports the development of competencies in impact measurement, behavioural change and responsible decision-making, key skills for future leaders navigating complex global challenges.
Once again, ESCP students have fully embraced the Ma Petite Planète challenge. This time again, they took on this collective initiative around responsible consumption and sustainability, transforming the major concepts discussed in class into concrete daily actions: food, mobility, energy, purchasing choices… The ecological transition begins with integrating sustainable practices into everyday life.
