About Nicolas

I dynamically and expertly support you in your CSR/ESG approach.

Three years at KPMG (ESG auditor/consultant) and two years at Wendel (senior ESG analyst) have allowed me to develop strong and valuable skills in key ESG topics.

I would be delighted to pragmatically help you build a proactive, value-creating approach and/or assist you in meeting the regulatory obligations your organization faces.

My preferred topics: sustainability report (CSRD), ESG roadmap, non-financial reporting, carbon footprint calculation, realistic transition plan, responses to rating agencies (Ecovadis, CDP, etc.).

Feel free to discover my profile in detail.
