Our commitments

  • Over the past several years, Institut Mines-Télécom has taken a number of steps to foster equal opportunity for its employees : parenting support measures, a specific program to close the wage gap and implement affirmative action to correct low wage progression.

    IMT developed a gender equality plan for the 2021-2023 period (approved by the Board of Directors in June 2021), focusing on 4 pillars, based on civil service guidelines in accordance with the requirements of the law of 6 August 2019 :

    • Assess, prevent, and when necessary, take steps to correct gender pay gaps
    • Guarantee equal access for women and men to all governing bodies and jobs.
    • Encourage the reconciliation between work and personal and family life
    • Prevent and address discrimination, acts of violence, psychological or sexual harassment and sexist behavior

  • Following an initial action plan to combat gender-based and sexual violence, Institut Mines-Télécom continues its commitment to addressing all forms of violence (harassment, discrimination, secularism, gender-based and sexual violence) and fostering inclusion while respecting shared values.
    This initiative promotes inclusion and equality, serving the goal of harmonious living together: Action Plan Against Violence and Discrimination.

  • Drawing on the historic commitment of its schools, in 2020 Institut Mines-Télécom embarked on an ambitious group strategy to support ecological and social transition.

    Empowering all IMT graduates, faculty and staff to embody social responsibility.

    A shared roadmap based on concrete commitments was accepted by the College of Directors on 6 May 2021 and unanimously approved by the Board of Directors on 24 June 2021.

    It is embodied by teams dedicated to ecological transition, active on each of our campuses, and is based on 5 transformation priorities :

    • Get all levels of the organization involved
    • Train future managers and engineers who are aware, responsible and well-equipped
    • Lead high-impact research dedicated to the challenges of transition
    • Develop ecological transition ecosystems
    • Aim for an eco-campus at every school
  • This label represents a major asset for the attractiveness of research careers and for the ITM schools, by attracting researchers from all over Europe. It ensures equal treatment between the different schools and facilitates access to European research funding. These objectives are fully in line with the ITM’s policy of supporting research and those involved in it.

    These objectives are fully in line with the policy of the Institut Mines-Télécom (IMT), reinforcing the attractiveness and international influence of the establishment, as well as its active participation in the European research area. With this in mind, the ITM has officially embarked on the HRS4R labelling process.
