Entrepreneur, speaker and expert in the functional and cooperative economy, Aurélien Pasquier helps organisations create more value while consuming fewer resources.
Aurélien Pasquier works with business leaders who want to move beyond models based solely on volume growth. A specialist in the functional and cooperative economy, he shows how to shift from selling a product to selling its use, a service or an outcome, while strengthening customer relationships and reducing resource consumption.
In 2002, Aurélien Pasquier founded Everest, a pioneering agency in responsible digital practices, where, among other things, he developed lean, eco-designed websites. He then transformed the agency’s model in line with the principles of the functional economy before selling the company in 2022.
Co-founder of ADAPTABLE, Aurélien Pasquier now develops professional furniture made from reused and upcycled materials. The company also offers rental solutions, putting into practice the principles of the circular economy and of selling use rather than the product itself.

This workshop helps participants move from a logic of immediate optimisation to one of lasting strength.

An action plan then helps prioritise the decisions that will strengthen its robustness.
Ideal for: executives, managers and teams undergoing transformation.
Participants map their stakeholders and analyse the cooperation already in place.
They then identify the resources that could be pooled, the partnerships to strengthen and the alliances likely to generate new activities.
Ideal for: companies, networks, collectives and regional organisations.
