Our Chief Sustainability Officer

My role with our portfolio companies is first to understand their needs and their main challenges, in order to provide them with the best possible tools on CSR matters. Often in SMEs, the time, the budget and the skills to move forward in CSR are lacking. I therefore try to be as pragmatic as possible, to help implement effective and impactful actions and facilitate the appropriation by the teams.
