COP 30, Omnibus, fight against deforestation: as regulation slows down, G.A.C. Group continues to choose action, impact, and collective mobilization

A changing context for transition

With 7 out of 9 planetary boundaries exceeded, recent developments in global and European governance of sustainable development paint a mixed picture. The COP30, held in Belém, concluded with a final text without mentioning fossil fuels and a postponement until 2035 of the tripling of funding dedicated to adaptation. Several technical advances have been recorded, but the agreement reflects a compromise reached at the end of negotiations. At the same time, in the European Parliament, discussions around the Green Deal and the regulatory package « Omnibus » led to a revision of certain initial requirements of the directives. CSRD and CS3D : adjusted eligibility thresholds, revised obligations, redefined scopes. These developments reduce the scope of mechanisms designed to enhance non-financial transparency and the management of environmental and social impacts.

These developments are fueling a sense of uncertainty among many economic actors, even as societal expectations for transition remain high.

Join our webinar on December 11, in partnership with Kiosk, to understand the impacts of the Omnibus proposal and the revised ESRS.

Our focus: innovation and performance for impact

In this context, our role is to’support organizations with ESG/CSR management, analysis, and strategy tools reliable and operational. Sustainability is now a lever for value creation: it structures decisions, supports overall performance, and enables us to anticipate regulatory, technological, or sectoral developments. Our approach is based on a pragmatic vision: articulate financial and non-financial performance, enhance the clarity of trajectories, and provide solutions that can be implemented regardless of the company's level of maturity.

Our commitment is long-term, extending beyond regulatory cycles, based on one conviction: Transition is a collective dynamic.

Lucidity is a force for action: to inspire, convey, and mobilize.

We believe that innovation can contribute to a sustainable future and that it is fueled as much by data as by stories, by strategies as by feedback. It is in this spirit that we participated in Play4Life, on September 30 at La Seine Musicale, an event combining scientific presentations, artistic creations, and committed testimonials.

Play4Life is a responsible approach to reconnect our decisions with life itself, to stir emotions and inspire people to act differently. Because we need data, but we also need stories. We need figures, but we also need courage. We need strategies, but above all, we need meaning.

Jean-Marc Jancovici, Marine Calmet, Heidi Sevestre, Olivier Hamant, Gilles Bœuf, and other experts shared their perspectives on climate, environmental, and societal challenges with more than 1,000 decision-makers. Their presentations highlighted the reasons for taking action and encouraged everyone to get involved and commit to building more sustainable paths forward.
