● Analysed B Corp performance data of the 38 certified entities across 1.300 criteria

● Developed automated performance analysis dashboards for corporate leaders

● Collaborated with the ESG team to develop an integrated framework for all metrics

At Danone, I have been asked to carry out an analysis of their existing B Corp performance data and conduct workshops to present results to corporate leaders.

I have challenged the brief and proposed to the client to deliver an analytical tool that analyses B Corp data and provides results in separate dashboards for each corporate leader.

Environmental Decision-Making

MECHANICAL ENGINEERING

June 2019 - August 2019 (2 months)

Lyon, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, France

● Developed a strategy to incorporate environmental impact into decisions for industrial operations, responding to an ISO 14001 audit

● Set environmental criteria for machinery investments in Europe

● Created a tool measuring externalities of industrial operations and expressing it in monetary terms while collaborating with the industrialization methods team.

At Jtekt, I have been asked to find a way to consider environmental issues in machinery investments prior to buying. I have developed a tool that compares the environmental impact of different types of machines and converts it into monetary terms so that the engineering methods department can choose the most efficient machines when designing the production line.

Waste Management

ENERGY & UTILITIES

June 2018 - August 2018 (2 months)

Région de Paris, France

● Created an optimization tool to streamline the waste collection, enabling reduction of C02 emissions caused by transportation and €1.000 monthly savings on waste collection bills

● Performed an on-site audit to identify and quantify industrial and office waste streams

● Provided recommendations for improvement and established an office waste recycling programme, ensuring regulatory compliance of source separation.

● Benchmarked waste service providers and negotiated contracts

● Constructed a dashboard to monitor and report on waste, as part of the EMS

At Enedis, I have been asked to optimise their waste stream. Instead of conducting a single analysis and recommendations, I have been able to deliver more value by creating a tool that automatically calculates the best collection scenario for a given quantity of waste to minimise transportation. Also, the company had no monitoring systems for waste, so I have developed a dashboard.
