ENVIRONMENT
Limiting our impact on the environment and participating in projects that benefit society are the root of concrete actions at Arnest.
Partnership withTeam for the Planet
Eager to participate in initiatives that benefit to the environment, we were convinced by the Team for the Planet project: raising 1 billion euros to finance 100 innovations fighting climate change on a global scale. Since 2023, we have become shareholders in this endeavour. In 2023, we became shareholders in this venture.
Partnership withthe ONF
In addition to our day-to-day actions to reduce our carbon footprint, we finance reforestation projects in partnership with ONF (Office National des Forêts). The Eu forest project in Normandy, to which we initially committed in 2023 and for 7 years, should eventually capture the equivalent of 3 years of Arnest’s residual GHG emissions.
Carbon footprint
Concerned about the impact of our business on the environment, we decided to have our carbon footprint assessment certified by ADEME as early as 2023, in order to identify and measure our greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and draw up an action plan to reduce them.

Xavier and Jean-Philippe met at work, where they forged a friendship based on a shared vision and passion for the energy sector.
In the course of their experiences, the 3 of them developed the desire to create a consulting company organized on a start-up model, based on technical expertise and process agility.

They discuss their plans over dinner in mid-2020, and share the same observations about the changing expectations of customers and the aspirations of consultants. They rave about the role technology could play, and decide to take action.
