“Hélène Baron helped us with climate strategy projects in the food and agricultural sector, particularly relating to the SBTi and emission reduction mechanisms. She came to our meetings very well prepared and quickly understood our business case. We were able to get to the heart of the matter very quickly. Her knowledge of corporate strategy in the area of emissions reductions was invaluable. She helped us to find solutions to promote our emission reduction certificates. The added value of Hélène’s work was considerable. It saved us precious time and enabled us to develop an appropriate strategy to maximise value from the emission reductions produced. This strategy was successful and we won a number of new contracts. I would recommend Hélène Baron for her skills and knowledge, for her commitment, and her ability to adapt to the topics proposed.”
