Our areas of expertise

Business Reporting
Business reporting is evolving from a purely financial world to a more holistic approach were social and environmental impacts, costs and risks are also taken into account to assess the performance of companies.
The European Union has taken the lead in building world class standards (ESRS) and make compulsory reporting available for stakeholders through the CSRD directive
Human Ressources
Professionals have been integrating Diversity, Equality and Inclusion practices in their HR daily routine to ensure a better adequation between business performance and social integration .
These actions and policies are key and non-negotiable elements of Europe's civilizational model.
Business Strategy
With the emergence of the Double Materiality approach in Europe, through the adoption of CSRD and EFRAG world quality approach, business strategy and CSR strategy have been merged to take into account the link between impacts, risks and costs as well as opportunities.
Involving all the important stakeholders, the responsible business strategy approach is identifying, adressing and delivering on IRO (Impacts, Risks and Opportunities) all over its value chain.
Biodiversity
Emerging as a survival condition for more than 70% of business, the vitality of biodiversity is starting to be identified as a much needed priority for responsible business
The vote of European laws such as the EUDR and Nature Restoration Directive are paving the way for business to reshape their operations to protect and restore biodiversity all over its value chain
Value Chain

The European Union has recently put itself in a pionner position with the vote of the CS3D Directive, putting Due Diligence practices as a condition for very large business operating in Europe
Low Carbon Operations
Since the Paris agreement, European business have structured their approach to implement transition plans in their own operations and through their value chain.

"A survey to be shared with everyone "
"Thank you #WeAreEurope for this important survey!
Businesses need a clear direction and strong support from Europe to fully commit to a sustainable economy. Yet, the Omnibus results show that 70% feel confused, frustrated, or disappointed. What was meant to simplify seems instead to create a loss of guidance…"
"Thank you, #WeAreEurope, for making this survey possible — it will provide us with plenty of material to debunk misconceptions! "
