Over 10 days, environmentally-conscious athletes will be making their way around France as part of the Sport Planète relay to build awareness and take action for the environment through conferences and various events. During a round-table on SKEMA’s Sophia Antipolis campus, where she will be for the second-last leg, our Global BBA graduate Marine Jacq-Pietri will talk about the creation of her eco-adventure business.
This young native from Corsica firmly believes in her eco-adventure business venture, launched this year. “I got the idea after meeting Solene Chevreuil, one of the eco-adventurers behind Projet Azur. I want to create adventures with a strong environmental focus that have a positive impact, and put humans back in their rightful place in nature,” explained the entrepreneur.
After her three years on the Sophia Antipolis campus, Marine went on to study marine environment management at the University of Aberdeen. Her studies consolidated her deep desire to change things. “The future of marine resources is something that concerns me deeply. I think eco-adventures have the power to rally people and teach humanist values.”
