EcoAct and Alliantis join forces
This alliance creates new synergies for EcoAct to accelerate the business
transition to a low carbon economy.
Paris, February 10, 2017 - The world is today experiencing an unprecedented economic, social and
environmental change. For the second consecutive year, the Davos Economic Forum has put the
mismanagement of the environment as the top threat to the global economy. As such, organizations
must urgently think differently about their strategy. To respond to this, EcoAct, a leading player in
decarbonization, is strengthening its teams in both France and abroad and has combined forces with
Alliantis to synergize multi-stakeholder collaboration in this transitioning world. EcoAct and Alliantis
together provide innovative solutions to increase an organization’s capacity to anticipate changes and
to act in an increasingly transitioning world. This new pool of experts and consultants will deliver
support to companies and territories, strengthening sustainable actions throughout their value
chain.
Founded in 2006 by Thierry Fornas and Gérald Maradan, EcoAct has become the international
reference point for the decarbonization of companies and territories. EcoAct has been a pioneer by
promoting decarbonization as a key lever to improving global performance for organizations. Driven
by an ambition to change the rules of business as usual, EcoAct is constantly expanding its solutions to
accelerate the transition of companies and territories towards a more sustainable world.
Founded in 2000 by Sylvianne Villaudière, Alliantis, an alliance strategy consultancy, specializes in the
communication, foresight, coordination and mediation of networks of major players in sustainable
development and energy transition (groupings and Federations of companies, NGOs, associations,
etc.). Over the years, Alliantis has developed a unique know-how on establishing pathways, forging
alliances and setting in motion these networks. Among other things, the firm coordinated the COP21
Solutions system.
Today, EcoAct is:
- established in 3 countries: France, Kenya, United States, with partnerships all over the world;
- composed of international teams with more than 70 high-level experts and consultants;
- experiencing 25% growth per year;
- with more than 1,000 missions in 20 countries over the past 3 years.
As complements to one another, EcoAct and Alliantis now provide an even more comprehensive set
of responses to the major sustainability challenges faced by organizations. Together, they accelerate
their transition through:

accompanying them in their climate change mitigation and adaptation strategies;
building alliances for sustainable development and corporate social responsibility.
“We are very pleased to join forces with Alliantis, which aims to catalyze action and increase
cooperation between major players,” said Gérald Maradan, Managing Director and Co-Founder of
EcoAct.
“The ‘raison d'être’ of Alliantis is to promote collective intelligence for a sustainable future. Today, we
are entering a new era, marked by the acceleration of social and environmental constraints governed
by climate change. Because of its robustness and expertise, EcoAct was the best actor to concretely
implement our desire to combine economy and ecology,” added Sylvianne Villaudière, Founding
Director of Alliantis now also Associate Director of EcoAct.
“The climate is becoming an increasingly strategic issue for organizations. Thanks to its expertise in
strategic communication and networking, Alliantis is the partner that will better help our customers
co-build, share and enhance their approach,” concluded Thierry Fornas, President and Co-Founder of
