EPSA Sustainability: Sidièse Establishes Marseille Office to Accelerate Sustainable Transitions

As part of the development of EPSA Sustainability, Sidièse announces the opening of a new office in Marseille. This move aims to combine creativity and CSR expertise to accelerate sustainable transitions within the Mediterranean ecosystem. 

New Office Strengthens EPSA Sustainability’s Regional Offering 

With the opening of its office in Marseille, Sidièse is strengthening EPSA Sustainability’s regional presence. Working alongside the ekodev teams already present in the region, the agency brings its creativity and expertise in CSR communication to complement ekodev’s technical expertise in climate, decarbonisation, and sustainable mobility. Together, the two entities form a unique strategic and operational hub capable of supporting Mediterranean organisations through all stages of their environmental and societal transitions—from defining their strategy to communicating their commitments. 

“This move illustrates our desire to be at the heart of the environmental and societal transition of companies in the region by offering them our expertise and 20 years of experience in responsible communication. By combining ekodev’s technical expertise with Sidièse’s creativity, we aim to offer public and private actors in the region tailored support, adapted to their specific needs, to accelerate their sustainable transitions,” explains Nicolas Perdrix, Managing Director of Sidièse and Associate Director of EPSA Sustainability. 

Expertise Serving Local Stakeholders 

Beyond its regional roots, Sidièse is committed to putting its expertise at the service of local businesses and institutions to support them in their sustainable development. This ambition is already evident in several strategic collaborations with PONANT EXPLORATIONS GROUP, a Marseille-based luxury cruise company. 

Working alongside the company, Sidièse has contributed to structuring the group’s CSR strategy, designing its Grand Récit manifesto and communication platform, and producing its inaugural CSR report. The partnership has also been extended to PONANT Science, through the drafting of a scientific manifesto, the production of the inaugural scientific activity report for 2023, and the design of educational materials for passengers and researchers. These experiences demonstrate Sidièse’s ability to articulate strategy, communication, and social commitment in a coherent and inspiring approach. 

Marseille is a strategic crossroads, at the intersection of the environmental and cultural challenges of the Mediterranean. The collaboration between PONANT EXPLORATIONS GROUP and Sidièse illustrates how creativity and CSR expertise can combine to give meaning to our commitments and make them tangible for our passengers, employees, and partners. The opening of this office in Marseille will further strengthen this proximity and enable the development of new synergies in the service of sustainable transitions
