Jean Garandel

THE ECOENERGY FOUNDER



Leading sustainability transformation programs and initiatives to optimise utility costs by corporations can be challenging.
 
I will help you solve that.
 
As an accomplished Senior Technical Sustainability Leader, I bring extensive global experience spanning energy, water and waste utilities planning, infrastructure and sustainability projects across Europe, Asia, Australia and Africa.
 

Today I work with Technical & Operations Leaders in corporations and businesses to help them deliver dramatic cost savings while simultaneously making genuine advances in their corporate sustainability.


Previously I’ve held the role of Utility & Sustainability Manager at Givaudan – the global leader in fragrance, beauty, taste and wellbeing – with responsibility for heading utility strategy, sustainability, energy saving and waste reduction initiatives across 30 industrial and manufacturing sites worldwide.
 
Prior to that, I’ve held progressive Energy & Utilities Sustainability and Technical Leadership roles with Societé d’Electricite et d’Eau du Gabon in Central Africa, Sydney Water Networks Alliance in Australia, and Veolia Water in Japan, China, Singapore, Malaysia and France.
 
Highlights have included my participation in the EU-funded deployment of innovative refrigeration technology as well as being an invited expert panellist for energy efficiency at the United Nations Industrial Development Organisation (UNIDO).
