Placing cultural diversity at the heart of strategies for the future

Girl in a jacketA project led by a committed team

The CSSC project is the result of applied academic research initiated by specialists in international law, culture, and social responsibility. It was born out of a clear ambition: to structure corporate commitment to cultural diversity and turn it into a concrete lever for transformation.

This dynamic is driven by a multidisciplinary network of independent experts who have come together around a shared vision: to support companies and communities in developing sustainability strategies that fully integrate cultural issues. It is a collective of professionals who combine their skills to offer tailored, rigorous services that are rooted in the reality of each company on the ground.

The team brings together complementary expertise in law, mediation, cultural governance, and sustainable development. Their complementary skills enable them to address the complex legal, organizational, and human challenges of cultural diversity and to support organizations in realistic approaches tailored to their resources and specific contexts.

“We believe in the power of dialogue, in listening to the specific needs of each organization, and in the need to translate commitments into concrete and measurable actions. It is this demanding and human approach that we bring to every voluntary organization we work with.”

Our mission is to promote the recognition of cultural diversity as a pillar of sustainability

Cultural diversity is an essential asset, both human, social, and strategic. It reflects the societies in which we live and the talents that make them up. Yet it is a weak link in sustainability indicators.
The CSSC project was born out of a conviction that for an inclusive and sustainable society to emerge, businesses and institutions must be encouraged to integrate cultural diversity into their practices, governance, and strategic vision.

Our mission is to structure this commitment by providing a framework for assessment, recognition, and progress. Through a rigorous benchmarking system, three-tiered certification, and personalized support, we help voluntary organizations measure their practices and identify concrete areas for improvement.
We assist in the transformation, and as with any type of information, this is built over time, with engagement and consistency. By promoting real commitments, supporting collective learning, and creating bridges between the cultural and creative sectors and the economic sphere, we are working to make cultural diversity a recognized and accepted strategic lever for sustainability.
