In Andilly (Charente-Maritime), a locally driven wind farm demonstrates the power of the citizen model. Alongside the town hall and 440 residents, businesses and local authorities, Énergie Partagée Investissement supports a project where the territory remains in charge of its energy.
With 31% of the capital, the local cooperative holds the majority on the steering committee—a meaningful governance choice. The success of the project is matched by residents’ enthusiasm, and a new citizen-led solar project is already underway.
➡️ A concrete example of how citizen energy enables territories to produce, decide… and transform themselves.
Every year in France, 9 million tons of still-usable items are thrown away by households, and the value of unsold non-food goods reaches 4 billion euros.
While observing this huge waste, Hakim Baka and Florian Blanc launched Geev, the leading platform for donating items and food between individuals—turning it into a simple, local, and accessible gesture.
📱 In just a few years, Geev has enabled millions of donations and created a true community of “Geevers” who give, collect, and share within a framework that is trusting, safe, and local.
“The culture of giving already exists in everyone’s heart… Our role is to bring this desire to give closer to everyday life,” — Hakim Baka.
🌍 Thanks to Geev, circular economy becomes a natural reflex, and every action counts—whether to declutter our homes, reduce waste, or help someone nearby.
