Our history

The start of a new era in the World

By your side

"In our view, the companies that succeed are those have a soul"

Muriel & François

In the Beginning

TERRA IMPACT SOCIETY's history began following a meeting between François, a young international finance guy an ambitious, passionate, and exacting entrepreneur and Muriel, a brilliant agronomist-engineer, top executive, and director of major corporations (Unilever, Danone). It was one of those encounters that alters the course of a lifetime.

Our shared familial ties, deeply rooted in rural and agricultural heritage, further strengthened the bond between us. Yet, our distinctiveness extends far beyond our backgrounds and shared history. Our approach is not to judge you, nor to lecture you on CSR and environmental matters. Rather, our mission is to inspire you, to help you grasp these crucial issues, to impart complex concepts and challenges with clarity and intelligence, and to simplify your daily life. We aim to guide you along a path toward a sustainable and responsible future—one that truly aligns with your values.

By doing so, you will not only strengthen your present but also safeguard your future, equipping yourself to face the major social and environmental challenges ahead with greater confidence and foresight.

Humanism, pragmatism, collective intelligence, constant self-questioning, and an entrepreneurial spirit are at the heart of our core values and serve as our driving forces each day.

See these challenges as opportunities

Faced with a change of such profound and global consequences, the question of sustainability and the consideration of the environmental, social and societal impact of our activities are essential for the long-term viability and evolution of our organizations, our economy, and our society.

As founders and entrepreneurs, we have a deep conviction that these objectives are entirely complementary.

We are deeply convinced that the ecological and social transition, driven by planetary boundaries, social inequalities, and the recognition of the unsustainability of infinite growth models, cannot take place without fundamentally transforming the business models, production methods, practices, and mindsets of our companies. However, we believe that this transition must first come through an awareness of the role each individual must play, at their own level, in their professional practice and their relationship with their ecosystem.

Adapting and cooperating together

EDGAR MORIN

"The two most important things do not appear on a company's balance sheet: its reputation and its people"

Henry Ford (1863-1947)

Henry Ford revolutionized our way of life with his practical and affordable automobiles. He pioneered modern mass production methods, which became the benchmark for industrial practices throughout the first half of the 20th century.

Collective Intelligence

Reflecting the diversity and wealth of our teams bringing together former executives and employees from SMEs, mid-sized companies, and large corporations, as well as practitioners, scientists, researchers, and industry expertswe have a highly complementary and cross-disciplinary vision of the best way to navigate these many paradigm shifts. It is the combination and synergy of our ideas, analyses, expertise, practices, and initiatives that create the richness and coherence of TERRA IMPACT SOCIETY’s projects and actions.

Strong Commitments

We also make strong commitments to protecting resources, educating, and raising awareness across society—particularly among younger generations and the general public—about the protection of life and the planet. In this context, under François’ leadership, we founded the NGO TERRA with these ambitious yet realistic objectives, driven by the desire to turn ecology and sustainable development into a catalyst for innovation and integration.
