PRAXILIENCE takes your organisation beyond CSR
Green growth, sustainable development and CSR-type approaches are outdated.
PRAXILIENCE helps your organization design new levers of action to align with planetary boundaries.
Its approach combines proven and complementary tools : carbon assessment, design, and system engineering, to better grasp the complexity of the issues related to your organization and to reveal the most effective levers of action.
Nos Services
Diagnosis: take the measure of your activity in relation to the planetary limits.
CARBON FOOTPRINT ®
Method for evaluating the greenhouse gas emissions of an organization, to define ways for reduction of these emissions
In line with GHG Protocol & ISO 14064.
EVALUATION ACT ®¹
Method developed by ADEME and CDP ² to assess or define a company's low carbon strategy and align it with the challenges of a low carbon world. This approach is particularly valid for an organization whose activity is relatively homogeneous in a given economic sector.

MATERIAL BALANCE
The material balance is used to assess the ecological issues of your organization and related to planetary limits: consumption of water, sand, materials, natural spaces, waste, etc. and serve as a diagnostic and starting point to design your ecological redirection levers.
Ecological redirection
RENOUNCIATION PROTOCOL
In a limited world, designing an ecological strategy is a matter of trade-offs and difficult choices. It's about deciding what to keep and what to give up. A renunciation protocol is a strategy conducted by a public or private organization with the aim of aligning its activities with planetary boundaries. To do this, she decides to give up certain activities (productive, technological, consumption, investment, project, ...) incompatible with the climatic and ecological situation, while securing the trajectories of collectives dependent on these activities. Each particular situation requires a specific and adapted protocol.
ECOLOGICAL STRATEGY
Support in the development of your ecological strategy. To register in a long and terrestrial time, that is to say in agreement with the planetary limits. How to inherit existing infrastructure? How to live with it now? Which activities to maintain and for which activities should a dismantling or re-orientation be considered?
Our tools
Reveal the strategic levers for action.
DESIGN – ACTION RESEARCH
Starting from the reality on the ground as close as possible to the actors in a world in the making.
The design is based on the inquiry process. The investigation consists of getting as close as possible to the actors, in a world in the making. And to reveal and take seriously their attachments, their dependencies to take them into account in the development of ecological strategies.
This approach makes it possible to consider an ecology from below and from the middle *, rather than an ecology from above or through the environment.
The survey and design approach allows the organization to experience a unique, tailor-made, reflective and participatory approach.
SYSTEMS OF SYSTEMS
Starting from the processes and dependencies of organizations to better reorient them.
Organizations (companies and territories) are increasingly confronted, consciously or not, with contexts relating to Systems of Systems. Systems of Systems engineering is an operational methodology capable of fitting into the complex processes and dependencies of organizations. It makes it possible to structure the reflection in order to consider the difficult strategic choices which are necessary when it is a question of landing an organization in the planary limits or of dismantling or re-orienting certain activities by integrating both the aspects of technology and business models.
SERIOUS GAME - WORSHOP 3rd HORIZON
Multiply worlds to reconnect infrastructures to the more-than-human.
The 3rd horizon game-workshop is a way to renew the how we envision the reorientation of an industrial system or of an urban development. It is about "multiplying the worlds to make ours more habitable" 2
1. The game is about taking on unusual roles and taking a variety of worldviews seriously. This makes it possible to better connect infrastructures to living things.

QUANTIFY REDUCTION ACTIONS - QUANTIGES®
Method developed by ADEME to quantify greenhouse gas reduction actions. This method is particularly useful for understanding the consequences linked to a decision. The principle of this method can also be applied to aspects other than carbon: such as for example: material, waste, artificialization ,.
Training and awareness
INTRODUCTION TO SYSTEMS OF SYSTEMS
What is the difference between on-demand bicycles, an agrifood system, food, the final energy supply? None. These systems are all systems of systems. This course introduces you to the notion of Systems of Systems and how this notion can be used to structure the thinking collectively around the evolution of these systems. These changes may be the establishment of a new service, an organizational or technological change, such as the closure of an activity.
LOW-CARBON STRATEGY TRAINING
How to land its low carbon strategy within planetary limits? Many decarbonization strategies are based on compensation, decoupling promises or biased assessment perimeters and do not engage the difficult trade-offs necessary in view of the challenges of the Anthropocene. These strategies either do not allow for reductions commensurate with the stakes, or, worse, worsen the situation elsewhere, directly or indirectly. This course aims to thwart the traps of the carbon language and gives the concepts allowing to build a low carbon strategy which is in agreement with the planetary limits.
RENOUNCING COLLAGE
The Renunciation Collage is a workshop developed by which allows groups of people to debate and imagine what activities we could give up in order to respect planetary limits. By describing an activity in different ways, participants discover the complexity of a quitting process. In the end, they jointly devise a strategy to quit the activity or some of its aspects.
CLIMATE COLLAGE
The Climate Collage aims to raise awareness of climate issues in a fun way. This 3-hour collective intelligence workshop is facilitated for groups of 5 to 20 participants. It is a rigorous, neutral educational tool that raises awareness without making people feel guilty. Employees emerge motivated and equipped to create solutions in the company.
The challenges of carbon and the Anthropocene
of the final energy consumed in the world is of fossil origin.
released into the atmosphere globally. At this rate, the Earth’s average temperature rise compared to the pre-industrial era will reach 1.5 ° C within 8 years, and 2 ° C in 23 years.
It is the mass of the Technosphere, that is, this layer of man-made artifacts that cover the surface of the earth.
