To counter a fast-paced fashion industry often disconnected from craft, three entrepreneurs—Yasmine Auquier Buron, Sofia Buron, and Aurelie Jansem ; from Paris’s Right Bank – decided in 2016 to create Rivedroite Paris.
Their ambition? To create an accessories brand that is both desirable and meaningful.
💚 What makes the difference:
♻️ Textile upcycling: materials from industry surpluses reinvented into bags and accessories.
🤝 Socially responsible production: each piece is made in Casablanca by the Dudes, seamstresses supported in their professional integration.
🗼 A strong sense of identity: each design is named after an iconic Right Bank street, blending history and modernity.
✨ The result: responsible fashion that values craftsmanship, reduces environmental impact, and reconnects style with commitment.

Inheriting centuries-old and complementary expertise, the Île-de-France-based brand Les Ateliers Dewerpe now unites Miroiterie Dewerpe, GAM Protection, DJYMS SPBM, and 2MA.V.I under a single identity.
We are delighted to be part of this launch.
As the supply of hotel assets grows more slowly than demand across Europe, 9million sqm of office space remained vacant in France in 2024, including 2million sqm classified as structurally vacant, according to BNP Paribas Real Estate’s barometer.This situation is prompting office building owners to explore alternative uses,while hotel investors are identifying new opportunities to create destinations.
While digital professions are under strong pressure and still far from gender-balanced—with less than 20% of women in tech—many talents do not identify with traditional training pathways.
In response, Chloé Hermary founded Ada Tech School in 2019, an inclusive computer science school reinventing training for web and software development careers.
🎓 A learning-by-doing approach, with no grades or exams, built on collaboration, autonomy and peer-to-peer learning. A caring and feminist environment, open to diverse profiles: students changing direction, young professionals or people undergoing career transitions.
Today, Ada Tech School has three campuses (Paris, Nantes and Lyon) and trains nearly 300 learners, with a clear ambition: to make tech accessible to everyone and turn it into a true lever for empowerment.
“Showing that tech is accessible to everyone, and that it is a real career lever to take one’s place in the future,” — Chloé Hermary.
💻 Beyond coding, Ada Tech School carries a strong social mission: reducing the digital divide, diversifying tech profiles and promoting a more inclusive and responsible digital world.

In 2025, Énergie Partagée announced an increase in the value of its share for the third consecutive year. It is now set at €129, along with a gross dividend of €1.20 per share—a momentum reflecting the growing maturity of the financed projects.
Since 2010, Énergie Partagée Investissement has collected citizen savings to support more than 190 locally governed renewable energy projects (wind, solar, hydro and renewable heat). Once operational, they will supply the equivalent of electricity for over 800,000 people.
Projects are selected according to demanding criteria —citizen governance, local authority involvement, ecological consistency, technical feasibility and financial robustness— which have been identified by Énergie Partagée Label as a guarantee of transparency and territorial impact.
Erwan Boumard, CEO of Énergie Partagée, points out:
“This momentum shows that citizen investment can reconcile value creation with social and territorial benefits”.
➡️ A concrete illustration of a participative, sustainable and locally rooted investment model.
Gathered for a keynote session organised by EXTENDAM, Bpifrance and MKG, operators, investors and bankers shared a common assessment: climate issues are profoundly reshaping the financing conditions of the hotel sector.
With rising energy and water costs, increased exposure to physical risks (heatwaves, floods, droughts), and stricter environmental requirements, the ecological transition is becoming a central parameter in business models and investment decisions.
From an investor’s perspective, ESG criteria are now integrated from the very first stage of project analysis. In partnership with Fairmoove Solutions, EXTENDAM has developed an environmental assessment tool for hotels, combined with a plan to constantly improve ESG performances, with incentive or penalty mechanisms depending on achieved targets.
As Maxime Durand, Managing Partner at EXTENDAM, notes:
“It’s not always popular, but it’s effective in driving change in practices.”
➡️ A shift confirming that climate resilience is now a key lever of value and access to financing in the hotel industry.
Every year, millions of clothes are destroyed because they fail to find buyers, while the resources used to produce them are being depleted. Textile waste remains a major challenge.
Founded in 2020 by Sophie Pignères, Weturn is transforming the unsold stock management through a complete circular solution: collection, sorting, transformation and upcycling into new raw materials. Its technology gives a second life to dormant inventories and production offcuts, while ensuring traceability and compliance with the French AGEC law.
🎯 Objective: shift fashion from a linear model to a circular economy, reduce waste and limit the tcarbon footprint of textile industry .
🚀 With several hundred tonnes of textiles recycled every year and the support of leading players in responsible fashion, Weturn is asserting itself as a pioneer in the transition toward sustainable and innovative fashion.
In 2025, Énergie Partagée confirms the strength of its citizen investment model once again:
⚡ +2.38% on the share price, now set at €129,
⚡ a gross dividend of €1.20 per share, approved at the General Assembly on 24 November.
Since 2010, more than 190 renewable energy projects have been financed with citizens’ and local authorities’ equity. Once operational, they will cover the electricity consumption of 824,000 people and heat production for 22,500 people.
This performance is driven by the growing maturity of projects selected according to demanding criteria: citizen governance, ecological ambition, territorial roots and technical robustness.
As Erwan Boumard, CEO of Énergie Partagée, states:
“The Énergie Partagée share gains value because the projects we finance are becoming stronger and more profitable. This momentum proves that citizen investment can generate value while strengthening the energy autonomy of territories.”
➡️ An ethical, transparent and accessible investment model for all.
