The Consultant 

Laurent Perra : ESG Business Advisor, A&M Engineer – IAE Entrepreneur

38 years of industrial experience, including 12 as CEO and 2 as Head of Sustainable Development EMEAI for an American group.

My career has allowed me to act in all areas of the company. In 2010, I led the MBO that enabled Eurostar EP to spin off from the SABIC group. For this, I created the company Olympiade SAS.

Committed to people and the societal challenges of the company, I founded the association AEMVY, joined Eurostar EP to the Global Compact, and created the Sustainable Development department at Ascend Europe.

I represented Ascend to Plastics Europe. I have held many positions of responsability within the POLYVIA trade association.

I created Perdura Conseil in 2025 to advise SMEs/ETIs on their CSR trajectories.
