It has been my honour to chair the ESADE Foundation since July 2013. I have had various ties to ESADE for many years, in particular through the educa-tion of my children and most re-cently through my collaboration with the Board of Trustees.

ESADE is a great academic institution. As such, now as ever, it must remain faithful to its founding purpose and its mission – an ongoing commit-ment to quality and innovation in education and research plus an active commitment to society.

In today’s globalised world, ESADE also strives to be an academic institution at the service of the international community. Our growing and innovative offering of interna-tional programmes, the expansion of our alliances and agreements with prestig-ious institutions, the progres-sive internationalisation of our academic community, our extensive alumni network that reaches every corner of the globe, and our contribution to research and dialogue at the in-ternational level – all these are clear signs that we intend to continue along the same path.

ESADE’s international outlook and outreach have a long his-

tory. We were reminded of this last November, when CEMS – of which ESADE is a founding member – celebrated its 25th anniversary in Barcelona with a joint graduation ceremony for around 30 prestigious business schools that brought together more than 3,000 peo-ple from all over the world.

Let me take this opportunity to stress an issue of fundamental importance: ESADE needs to keep increasing its funds for talent scholarships. Although our scholarship fundraising has grown considerably in the past few years, we must continue with tenacity and persistence. This is our collective commit-ment: that talented young peo-ple with limited resources may have a chance to experience an ESADE education. For these students, scholarships are extremely positive, and for the ESADE community as a whole, they are an investment in our future and a clear contribution to society.

I am honoured to present this report, an overview of the many wonderful aspects of ESADE’s activity over the past academic year. On behalf of the Board of Trustees, I extend my sincerest thanks to all the individuals and teams that have made this possible. I am especially

grateful to the previous Presi-dent of the Board of Trustees, Pedro Fontana, and to all of the board members who have so generously collaborated with the ESADE Foundation.

In these challenging, uncertain times, good guidance can be hard to come by. The words and gestures of the new Pope Francis can help us to continue inspiring futures by building fairer, freer and more prosper-ous societies.

MANUEL RAVENTÓS Chairman, ESADE Foundation

ANNUAL REPORT | 5

We strive to make ESADE an ever more internationally pres-tigious academic institution that inspires and trains people and organisations to develop innovative, socially responsi-ble forms of leadership that will ensure a better future for everyone.

This report reflects our in-tense activity throughout the 2012-2013 academic year, during which time more than 12,000 students were trained on our campuses in Madrid, Barcelona, Sant Cugat and Buenos Aires, as well as other cities around the world. With a growing presence in top-tier scientific and academic publi-cations, our research continued its positive trend. In the area of outreach and social debate, we made many media contributions – including a sharp increase in contributions to the interna-tional press – and organised numerous public events, often in close collaboration with ESADE Alumni.

Allow me highlight some of last year’s most noteworthy initiatives. We expanded our educational portfolio to include the Double Degree in Business Administration and Law, the Master in Legal Practice and the English-only

section of the BBA. We also redesigned the Executive Masters to improve their focus on the professional market. Now fully operational, the new Full-Time MBA building at ESADECREAPOLIS is boosting the internationalisation of our educational offerings on the Sant Cugat campus.

ESADE’s internationalisation process continues apace. Last year alone, we welcomed more than 1,500 international students from more than 100 countries. Our campuses illustrate perfectly just how enriching diversity can be. This has been made possible by the design of our interna-tional programmes – such as the Global Executive MBA, the GAMP and the CIM – which are taught in partnership with renowned institutions such as Georgetown University (USA) and Fundação Getúlio Vargas (Brazil). As part of our inter-nationalisation process, we have revamped our strategy to expand our presence in Latin America (Mexico, Central America, Colombia, Peru, Brazil and Argentina), a region with a highly dynamic econo-my and a growing demand for first-rate education.

Once again, we have renewed our commitment to the Global

Compact and the Principles for Responsible Management Education (PRME). We will work even harder to become a socially responsible academ-ic institution by developing our Social Responsibility Master Plan, which encompasses various projects in multiple areas: training, research, so-cial debate, organisational cul-ture and institutional policies. In fact, one such project was to draft this report according to the international standards of the Global Reporting Initia-tive (GRI).

To the entire ESADE commu-nity, as well as the people and institutions who collaborate with us: Thank you all for your valuable contributions.

ONGOING IMPROVEMENT PROCESS. ESADE CSR (E-CSR) MASTER PLAN

ESADE has chosen not to create a specific CSR committee. CSR matters are handled directly by the Executive Committee under the supervision of the Director General. The Executive Commit-tee promotes and assesses the E-CSR Master Plan to ensure

that it ties in with ESADE’s gener-al strategy. Additionally, as part of our continuous improvement process, ESADE’s management relies on the analysis and feed-back of an advisory committee comprising executives and expert professionals.

With a view to integrating Corporate Social Responsibil-ity in ESADE’s strategic plan, the Director General created a task force to analyse the school’s institutional situation and, applying a model created internally for this (Losada, Martell and Lozano, 2010), drafted the 2011-2014 ESADE CSR (E-CSR) Master Plan, ap-proved by the Executive Com-mittee in December 2011.

The following figure illustrates the process adopted by the taskforce:

MAJOR INITIATIVES AND PROJECTS OF THE 2012-2013 ACADEMIC YEAR

PRME Champions

ESADE is one of the academic institutions chosen to lead the PRME Champions project, which includes three areas of activity: curriculum develop-ment (ESADE, Cape Town and Fordham), faculty development (Copenhagen, Babson and IILM) and research (Mendo-za-Notre Dame, Audencia and Asian Institute).

Social Debate

The model and strategy of social debate have been defined and the first projects have been designed:

“THINK EMPLOYMENT”, featur-ing the participation of a multi-disciplinary research team.

This project aims to develop proposals for creating jobs and improving employability.

“SOCIAL REPORT”, which aims to develop an index of citizens’ social confidence. The report will be published biannually by a group of ESADE faculty members in coordination with the Opina Institute.

Institutional Policies

We have updated our procure-ment policy in accordance with social-responsibility and sustainability criteria. We have also renewed our scholarship policy and established a policy regarding faculty members’ external activities.

Socialisation, Communication and Awareness

We have held more than 30 meetings with a total of 368 members of the ESADE

community to present the E-CSR Master Plan. We have launched the RS-E site, which features information about ESADE’s various advances in social responsibility. http://www.esade.edu/web/eng/about-esade/rse

AliaRS-E Network

This informal network is open to all members of ESADE’s faculty and administrative and service staff who wish to sup-port and promote social and environmental responsibility on a voluntary basis. At the end of the 2012-2013 academic year, the network had 88 members (32 faculty members and 56 administrative and service staff members).

SOCIAL REPRESENTATION AND DEBATE

During the 2012-2013 academic year, we reviewed our model and strategy for social debate. We once again hosted forums, conferences, lecture series and talks that drew large audiences and received good feedback from participants.

INSTITUTIONAL EVENTS

Academic Year Opening Ceremony

(23 October 2012) We kicked off the 2012-2013 academic year with a talk enti-tled “Lessons Learned from the Crisis” by Lionel Barber, editor of the Financial Times. In his remarks, Mr. Barber reviewed

some milestones in the recent history of the European econo-my and analysed the challenges that Spain will have to address moving forward.

Scholarship ceremony

In a reflection of ESADE’s decisive commitment to talent, the students were presented with the scholarships at two formal ceremonies. The total amount of scholarship money disbursed in 2012-2013 was €1.6 million.

2012-2013 Graduations

The conclusions of the conference focused on adaptation to change, agile decision-making, the flexibility of the labour market and the search for new international markets.

Alumni Entrepreneurship’s aim is to promote entrepreneurial activities by channelling the supply and demand between entrepreneurs and investors, facilitating their contact and matching them according to their respective needs.

Alumni Entrepreneurship sup-ports entrepreneurs through a programme that combines activities and services for busi-ness development (business plans, finance, orientation, etc.). It supports private investors by putting them in contact with business projects seeking financing through the ESADEBAN business angels network.

MANAGEMENT

Board of Trustees

The Board of Trustees is ESADE’s main governing and representational body and the legal titleholder of ESADE’s ed-ucational centres. Its statutes consolidate and reinforce the institution’s legal structure, an institution based since its foundation on equal collabo-ration between the Society of Jesus and civil society. For this reason, Members of the Board of Trustees are also divided equally. The Society of Jesus names half of these members, while the other half consists of civil society representatives. Members designate the latter through co-option, choosing from amongst distinguished individuals for their reputation in the business, legal, academic and/or cultural fields after hear-ing the non-binding opinion in the Board of Trustee’s Assembly of Members.

The Executive Committee is the administrative body assist-ing the Direction General in managing and coordinating all ESADE areas.

The ESADE Foundation finished the 2012-2013 academic year with losses. The unstable macroeconomic climate seen in the summer of 2012, which cast doubt on the credibility of the Spanish econ-omy (financial bailout, risk premiums, plummeting stock market), caused local demand to shrink rapidly, at a rate far higher than that foreseen in our budget. We have taken several decisions aimed at improving this situation: great-er internationalisation and innovation in our offerings, the closure of the loss-incurring Executive Language Center and, consequently, a round of layoffs.

9. RELATIONSHIP WITH ORGANISATIONSAND COMPANIESSUPPORTING ESADE’S EDUCATIONAL PROJECT MEANS HELPING TO CREATE A BETTER FUTURE.

PRIVATE SUPPORT TO ESADE FOUNDATION

During the 2012-2013 academic year, private contri-butions to ESADE Foundation exceeded €3.8 million. This figure is a clear indicator that a number of companies and individuals trust in ESADE’s educational project. The funds donated have been targeted to strengthen the three fundamental pillars of the institution: research, facul-ty and talent attraction.

Over the past academic year, ESADE and ESADE Alumni have organised the ESADE Challenge for Talent. The ob-jective of this fundraising cam-paign is to raise an additional

€1 million for scholarships over the next four years by encouraging the participation of alumni, students, compa-nies and organisations that are committed to talent. The kick-starter for this fundraising campaign is an initiative called 1,000 x 1,000 ESADE, which by the end of the academic year had attracted more than 100 donors who made major contributions to the Scholar-ship Programme.

Research and teaching excellence

Contributions targeted to research have facilitated the work of the 19 ESADE research units that have been

able to carry out strategic projects in key areas such as entrepreneurship, innova-tion, globalisation and social responsibility.

Scholarship Programme

ESADE is ramping up its Scholarship Programme to ensure that financial need is never a barrier to talented young people who wish to study at ESADE. During the 2012-2013 academic year, the Scholarship Program increased its funds thanks to the support of companies, students and – most impor-tantly – alumni in the ESADE Challenge for Talent.

Endowment

During the 2012-2013 academic year, ESADE’s endowment fund grew to €6.2 million. The interest income generated by this fund has been allocated to various strategic projects at ESADE.

ESADE COMMUNICATION

ESADE has prestigious profes-sors and experts that carry out part of their activity in the dif-ferent research units created by the institution. Their work translates into a large body of valuable content in areas rele-vant to the business world, the public sector, the field of law and civil society. This content is spread by global media or-ganisations, books, websites and other online resources, and this raises the profile of our faculty’s research results.

ACADEMIC BOOKS AND PUBLICATIONS

Academic publications have undergone a considerable increase over the last year, with a notable growth in the number of books and book chapters. ESADE and its faculty members have also been especially prolific in the production of re-search articles, contributions to academic conference proceed-ings, the publication of working papers, etc.

REPORTS AND STUDIES

ESADE’s faculty members and researchers write reports and studies to spread the knowledge generated by the institution.

2012 Sovereign Wealth Fund Report

This report was the first of its kind to be published in Spanish. Some of the world’s leading experts on sover-eign wealth funds (SWFs) helped to write the report. It analyses the investment strategies followed by var-ious SWFs around the world and describes their main transactions over the course of the year. Special emphasis is placed on SWFs’ relations with Spanish companies.

Economic Report

This report covers key aspects of the global, European and Spanish economy: threats to worldwide economic recovery, the ongoing economic and monetary crisis in Europe, and a period of adjustments and economic contraction in Spain.

InnovaRH Study

How can talent management help to boost innovation in companies? The second InnovaRH Study attempted to answer this question. The pioneering study consolidated the lines of work and research that InnovaRH has pursued since 2009. Promoted by leading companies under the academic direction of ESADE, the InnovaRH project aims to analyse recent trends in talent management.

ESADE Crea Opinión

This online space, launched in April 2012, gathers all op-ed articles published by ESADE faculty members.

Over the course of the 2012-2013 academic year, the platform made 1,147 opinion articles available to the online community. The articles covered a variety of current-af-fairs topics, including econom-ics, globalisation, law, politics, innovation, finance and public management.

ESADE Blogs

The ESADE Blogs project was created to give our experts a greater voice, letting them ex-press their opinions on current events as well as the latest de-velopments in their respective areas of expertise.

With the addition of Gerard Costa’s blog, the project now has a total of 10 thematic areas led by ESADE faculty members: leadership, geo-politics, social marketing, finance, law, social innovation, entrepreneurship, innovation, knowledge management, and development cooperation.

ONLINE COMMUNICATION

ESADE showed its commit-ment to online communication by launching platforms and new content formats oriented towards promoting expert- generated knowledge in the online community.

Inspiring Futures Newsletter

In September 2012, we once again demonstrated our commitment to online commu-nication by releasing the first edition of Inspiring Futures, a monthly digital publication that aims to inform the general public about ESADE’s advanc-es and activities.

ESADE TV

In April 2013, we made a clear commitment to audiovisual communication by launching our new ESADE TV channel. At the time of its introduction, the new multimedia platform had more than 500 videos on management, innovation, entrepreneurship, marketing, law, faculty opinions and anecdotes about ESADE’s campus life.

The channel is based on Nice264 Management, an in-novative video platform that is fully adapted for smartphones and tablets.

ANNEXES

ANNEX 1 – ON THIS ANNUAL REPORT AND GRI REPORT-ING STANDARDS

For the second consecutive year, we have prepared this Annual Report within the framework of the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) and its guidelines, representing one step further in ESADE’s transparency and accounta-bility. GRI aims to contribute to a global and sustainable economy in which organisa-tions manage their economic, environmental, social and governance performance

as well as their impact in a responsible way and with a clear reporting structure. This year, we decided to continue at level C for one more year and to work on level G4 throughout the 2013-2014 academic year.

Applying this reporting stand-ard internationally allows us to improve our management systems and establish goals and objectives, as well as de-fine performance indicators and improve how we measure their impact on our institution and on society.

Stakeholders

Including stakeholders is one of the GRI principles we used to define the content of this Report. During the 2012/2013 academic year, we held numerous meetings with our primary stakeholders, creating opportunities for dialogue to inform them about the ESADE Master Plan for Social Responsibility (E-CSR) and to hear their proposals. We have opened forums for dialogue with different mem-bers of our community (faculty, PAS staff, students from the

82 | ANNUAL REPORT

different programmes, ESADE Alumni, etc.). Our aim is to lis-ten to their needs and expec-tations, as well as their ideas, suggestions and contributions to move forward on our aim to become an increasingly sus-tainable and socially responsi-ble academic institution. Our objective for the 2013-2014 academic year is to organise the 1st Stakeholders’ Forum.

Definition of the Annual Report’s content

To determine which content we would include in our annu-al report, we considered, first of all, the interests expressed by our various stakeholders at meetings held throughout the academic year. We also considered our mission, vision and Declaration of Values, along with the specific areas related to our mission (training, research and social debate) and our strategy (globalisation, innovation, economic sustainability and organisational culture). Finally, we followed the basic requirements and factors demanded of an academic institution at the international level.

Defining the areas and indi-cators included in this Annual Report is the result of the work carried out for past an-nual reports though enriched with input from the E-CSR

issues in terms of their social, environmental and economic impact.

We also applied the principle of completeness, ensuring that all the information con-tained in our Annual Report details every significant action and initiative enacted during the academic year in question while not omitting any relevant information.

As regards content quality, we have applied the principles of balance, comparability, accuracy, timeliness, clarity and reliability as described in GRI protocols

Master Plan and contributions from the different stakehold-ers. In addition, we have also taken into account the Global Compact’s 10 Principles. To date, ESADE has completed the Global Compact’s annual progress reports, and was awarded the GC Advanced level by Global Compact in the last edition. In preparing this Annual Report according to GRI standards, we directly include the content of these progress reports.

Despite the volume of data our institution generates, we applied the principle of ma-teriality, including all relevant
