“If you don’t fail, you don’t learn.” - Carole Tawema
Carole is an Alumna who isn’t afraid of being an entrepreneur! Learn more about her background on the Les Echos Entrepreneurs podcast (in French).
A social enterprise
Karethic is an organic cosmetics brand inspired by traditional African medicine! The company’s values perfectly align with those espoused by KEDGE Business School, which aims to be an inclusive and sustainable school. In fact, the KEDGE IMPAKT strategy aims to train socially-conscious managers and to accelerate ecological and social progress. The project is founded on three pillars, which transcend all of the school’s activities and programmes available to students:
- Care for People: Working toward a more inclusive society
- Act for the Planet: Taking actions that preserve the environment and biodiversity
- Innovate for Tomorrow: Reinventing careers to accelerate ecological and social progress
