Milestone sponsors the Mindfulness Chair of Grenoble Ecole de Management
Milestone Investisseurs (“Milestone”), the Luxembourg-based private equity firm, is pleased to announce that it will sponsor the Mindfulness Chair of Grenoble Ecole de Management for the next three years with a minimum of EUR10,000 per annum.
Erick Rinner, Managing Partner, said: “we are delighted to be able to help Professor Dominique Steiler and his team to continue their research work on the impact of mindfulness techniques in the workplace. As far as we are aware, we are the first private firm in Europe to sponsor mindfulness research in the workplace. We believe that mindfulness practices can change the way businesses operate and that it can help all of us to create a better world with far less stress and anxiety. Mindfulness has personally changed my life and I hope that it can help many people”.
Professor Steiler commented: “we are very grateful that Milestone has joined our club of sponsors. If men one day came together to pool their strengths at work it was above all in order to aspire to a better way of living together and to care for each other.
We believe that today’s companies still retain that mission: to reinforce the social fabric in a way that respects and sustains the environment. In this perspective the creation of wealth is not an end in itself but rather, like the creation of value, of meaning and of well-being it is just one of the means which allows companies to reach higher social goals which go well beyond mere profit.”
