A True Pioneer in Sustainability, with Sylvain Lambert
“Humans are built to survive, but by nature, we are not anticipators. If you look at the history of humanity, we’ve never anticipated—we’ve always taken things head-on. We just survive.”
Today, Sylvain Lambert joined us for a podcast recording at daphni alongside Damien Didier (our ESG Manager) and Stanislas Lot (Partner at daphni). A true pioneer in sustainability and ESG, Sylvain has spent over 30 years looking for solutions—even when no one believed in them. An expert in environmental regulation, he is also a Partner at PwC and co-creator of the Sustainability Department.
An intense episode, with discussions on:
🧍 The difficulty of anticipating and modeling human behavior
🇪🇺 European regulation
🔎 How ESG data is analyzed, broken down, and audited
♻️ The 4 main focus points for asset managers regarding sustainability
💶 The implementation of the carbon tax
To wrap up, we asked him about his vision for moving from 10 to 2 tons of carbon emissions per person per year—the famous “from 10 to 2” challenge we’ve been exploring at daphni.
