École des Ponts ParisTech regularly evaluates its sustainable development and social responsibility practices (SD&SR), on the basis of the Loi Grenelle criteria proposed by the Conferences of Grandes Écoles Conference and of University Presidents. A level of self-assessment and an action plan have been set for each set of criteria.
Dévelop'Ponts, an École des Ponts student association created in 2001, takes action towards sustainable development and helps raise awareness among stakeholders.
With its six main priorities (Solidarity, Environment, Humanitarian action, Equality, Social Action and the Student Refugee Programme), the association is active in many areas and organises a wide range of events such as charity runs, humanitarian projects, coffee discussions, tutoring, and food distribution.
