Working sessions are set up around concrete case studies, with the support of strategic tools, providing a better understanding of interactions. We gain impact!

Florence transformed an ESG due diligence into a true exploration of our risks and opportunities related to sustainability issues. We were able to reliably assess our environmental and social contribution, and we are building a roadmap that sets our course and allows us to foster a constructive dialogue with all our stakeholders. Thanks to Florence, ESG is no longer a simple formal reporting but a true value creation process.
