Environmental and social consultancy
Be more
nature
Foen accompanies organisations wishing to integrate environmental and social impact into the heart of their strategy.
not just consultants
Fœn was born out of a shared desire to show that sustainability should not be a limit but an opportunity.
We are a group of experts specialising in sport and industry, with the Ocean is at the heart of what we do.
Foen enables you to integrate a sustainable strategy for your organisation, giving you the tools and connecting you to a committed network to open up new avenues.
Joining the Foen adventure means, above all, sharing a unique human experience. The road to sustainable development can be long, divisive and complex. But we are convinced that it is possible to face up to the challenges positively, by reinventing tomorrow's horizon, and by putting people at the heart of every step.
Our core values
Fœn adds a touch of nature to any classic sustainability strategy.

Purpose driven
In every project we undertake, we ensure that our core values are the guiding principle that drives us towards collective success.

Our methodology is built on solid data, whether it be carbon footprint, LCA or strategy, and incorporates consideration of planetary limits into its overall approach.
Collaboration
At Foen, we are committed to tailoring our work to the specific needs of your organisation. Our aim is to connect the dots, by working collectively with all stakeholders.

agence fœn
Let's reinvent your strategies, together.
We help people become aware of their impact on the planet and support them in becoming more connected and respectful of their natural and social environment.
Why Foen?
We take sustainability, make it understandable, more human and create action
Fœn was founded with a noble mission - to transform small organisations, without a cape or superpowers, but with a good dose of strategy and ambition.
Shall we talk about it?Imogen and Claire have been diving into the world of sustainability with gusto since 2012. They have put their expertise to good use on over 60 projects for organisations, charities and industries as varied as agriculture, marine and marine construction, fashion, boating and the social economy. Today, their core business revolves around environmental strategy and modelling, implementing action plans and pre-competitive thinking - in short, everything you need to avoid ecological faux pas (and soporific PowerPoints).
Team
Imogen DINHAM-PRICE
Imogen graduated from the University of Southampton where she specialised in sustainability strategy.
Convinced that everyone should be able to integrate sustainability easily and naturally into their community or their organisation - Imogen's work has proven successful thanks to strategy and carbon accounting background.
Later on, her strong interest in the maritime environment led Imogen to specialise in life cycle assessment in the marine industry, as well as certification and new systems thinking.
Today, her work focuses on developing sustainable, global and systemic strategy whilst integrating the constraints linked to natural resources.
Claire VAYER
Claire has a degree in law and communications, which has prepared her well for her 12 years of project management in ocean racing.
Her environmental values are rooted in her vision of the world and have led her, over the last six years, to integrate sustainability at the heart of all the projects she works on.
Today, she specialises in scientific outreach projects that give people a better understanding of the natural world. Her work also extends to the social sector, where she leads diversity projects in the nautical sector.
Pauline GERARDIN
Pauline is a graduate of ESCP Europe business school. After her studies, Pauline quickly became interested in how she could combine sport and the environment, her niche being the circular economy.
Her experience ranges from managing Paris 2024's sustainability initiatives to redirecting entire maritime waste streams.
Her strong project management skills enable her to develop clear impact strategies for all types of organisations.
Clement POURTAL
Clément is an international lecturer, documentary maker and corporate fundraiser. He is an active ambassador for the Marine Conservation Institute focusing on the crucial issue of marine protected areas.
Passionate about the ocean and working closely with projects in the field, his work led him overseas before joining Pure Ocean Foundation as the communications and sponsorship lead.
In 2016, Clement founded THE BLUE QUEST with the ambition of setting out to protect global marine projects by highlighting the actions and the people who work on them, through detailed documentaries both in France and abroad.
