About Benjamin

With Spring Bird, we support you towards your low-carbon future:
🌍 Awareness of the causes and consequences of climate change
📊 GHG Assessments and action plans
🎯 Science-aligned reduction targets
🌱 Co-construction of decarbonization pathways
✅ Evaluation of your decarbonization strategy with ACT Evaluation


🛠️Do you want to reduce your costs by being autonomous on the carbon issue? Carry out your Carbon Assessment® with Toovalu, a Climate & CSR management solution! As a Toovalu partner, I will assist you in its deployment.


I had the opportunity to master the art of Carbon Assessment® and decarbonization strategy for 4.5 years at Espere Consulting, thanks to pioneers with over 20 years of expertise.

Today, I continue the adventure independently. With 13 Carbon Assessments®, 4 co-constructions, and 4 decarbonization strategy evaluations completed, I will be able to adapt closely to your needs.

Putting climate at the heart of your business strategy means:
- Meeting the expectations of your stakeholders: investors, customers, suppliers, etc.
- Reducing your costs by lowering your energy bill
- Enhancing your attractiveness to young talent
- Differentiating yourself from the competition
- Ensuring the sustainability of your company in an increasingly unstable geopolitical and climatic context

Decarbonization is a major challenge that requires (very) long-term thinking. So don't waste time, start now!

I can send you a presentation brochure of my services upon request.
