Mr Nicolas BOQUET

Director for Environment Climate & Energy, Association française des entreprises privées (Afep)

After my graduation as Agronomy Engineer at AgroParisTech in 1993 and an experience at Agence française de développement in Tunis, I worked during 5 years in organisational consulting (in Cap Gemini) as senior consultant.

I then chose to focus my expertise on the interaction between private and public sectors by joining in 2000 the French Association of Large Companies (AFEP) which gathers the 110 largest French companies from all sectors, at Chairmen and CEO levels. I created the Environment, Climate and Energy Service and became the Director of the Association in this field.

Since then, I launched various initiatives at French level to enhance and promote volontary agreements going beyond legal requirements on climate change, circular economy and biodiversity.

My participation at IUCN Congress is dedicated to explaining the Act4Nature International initiative.
