Entrepreneurs Pour La Planète
Projects platform
A full 80% of company leaders want to do more for the environment, so Entrepreneurs Pour La Planète decided to help them make it happen.

A projects platform was launched as recently as November 2019 in the southern region, but a new ecosystem has already sprung up. Those who want to work for the good of the environment (government agencies, communities, organisations, associations, etc.) can now do so in coopera-tion with the local leaders of companies of all sizes.
These company leaders put their know-how and resources to work for an environmental project of their choice, and in doing so join a network of environmentally committed entrepreneurs. For example, companies may sponsor a project by contributing man-hours to specific tasks. A company can thus initiate, or continue, its ecological transition and confirm its commitment to CSR.
Project leaders benefit from the committed company’s experience and skills—and customised support—in the areas of strategy, management, human resources, finance, marketing, communications, etc. Currently about forty-one-to-one partnerships have been formed* (thanks to the www.entrepreneurspourlaplanete.org platform). The movement hopes to see 100 more this year. One key to success has been the territory-by-territory approach, because geographic proximity creates links and facilitates cooperation between the partners.
