From Impact Score to action: a look back at the premiere of this new format in Montpellier
On October 10, the Cité de l'Economie et des Métiers de demain hosted a brand new meeting format: "From Impact Score to Action".
Organized in partnership with the Mediterranean Metropolis of Montpellier and the Occitanie Region, this event aimed to support managers, entrepreneurs and employees in the virtuous transformation of their organization.
Once they've passed their Impact Score, a 360° measurement of their organization's social and environmental impact, many organizations don't know where to start and get lost when it comes to designing their action plan.
For this premiere, the event kicked off with a BA-ba of Impact, a format that reviews all the key concepts of the impact eco-system. During this masterclass, Morgane Le Breton, co-director of Maison Le Breton, and Pierre-Edouard Robert, director of Magic Pallet, shared their experiences and testified on the place of social and ecological impact within their structures.
Afterwards, participants were divided into four workshops designed according to the three main pillars of the Impact Score. For each workshop, an entrepreneur shared his or her experience by sharing concrete examples of actions he or she has implemented within his or her structure.
For example, Anthony Lecossois, founder and CEO of Boost, a committed e-commerce logistics company based in Nîmes, France, shared the actions he has taken to commit his company to a policy of equality and inclusion through an inclusive recruitment policy (resume-free application, simulation interview), support for young people on the margins of employment towards sustainable employment (via the status of "entreprise d'insertion"), and gender equality through an effort to acculturate prescribing partners to the logistics professions in order to break down recruitment barriers.
Participants drew on this feedback to begin drafting their action plan, which they were able to build on thanks to contributions from experts in the field in the Occitan region: Halima Sadiki from FACE Hérault, Christelle Siddi from La Ruche in Montpellier and Adrien Conty from La Fabrique des Possibles.
The day then ended with words from Hind Emad, Vice-President of Métropole Méditerranée Montpellier, and Marie-Thérèse Mercier, Regional Councillor for the Occitanie Region on the "Economy, Employment, Innovation and Reindustrialization" and "Vocational Training" commissions.
Et si la commande publique devenait enfin un véritable levier pour les entreprises européennes qui investissent dans la qualité, l’innovation et l’impact ? Avec son projet de règlement sur les marchés publics présenté le 9 septembre 2026, la Commission européenne propose de changer la donne en renforçant la prise en compte du « Made in Europe » et des critères sociaux et environnementaux dans les règles d’attribution de la commande publique. Mobilisé de longue date auprès de ses dirigeants sur ce dossier, Impact France analyse les enjeux de cette réforme et formule ses propositions pour faire de la commande publique un véritable outil de transformation de l’économie européenne.
La Commission européenne a publié mi-septembre une étude inédite consacrée aux “Impact-driven businesses” pour évaluer la contribution de ces modèles aux priorités européennes, identifier les freins à leur développement et ouvrir la voie à de nouvelles politiques publiques spécifiques. Dans cet article, nous partageons notre analyse des enseignements de ce nouveau rapport européen et décryptons les choix opérés et les perspectives qu’il dessine pour le développement des modèles à impact.
