Leaders in sustainability
Sometimes it seems that everything is already lost. The planet is dying... being socially responsible towards your employees, your stakeholders, the society, is overrated (or so people would have you believe)... And these two aspects always seem diametrically opposed to performance and profitability! Sustainable leadership is when leaders manage companies with environmental and societal development goals in mind. ... It’s all about leading in a way that benefits societies and the environment, while (and that’s crucial!) maintaining financial performance. Because we believe in being sustainable, responsible, and making money, we wanted to highlight leaders who (like ourselves) work everyday to make it happen, and, more importantly, to put the record straight... Talking about sustainability should not be as depressing as we sometimes see it in the media. It is an occasion for change, an opportunity for innovation at the three pillars: people, planet & profit. Sustainability! What else?

Meet Loane Touchais, our new team member...
My name is Loane Touchais and after three years of French preparatory classes, I joined Audencia Business School as part of the Grande École Programme. At the end of my first year, I had to do an internship abroad. I wanted to find a trainee where I could feel challenged in a company that gives sense and fights to make the world change. Working at Trianon Scientific Communication has enabled me to fulfil all these wishes and learn a lot about both environmental and social sustainability.
