Sharing and circular economy inside economic activity zones

The project aims at developing a specific animation inside an economic activity zone generating cooperation between companies within a Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) approach. It involves identifying and concretising possible business cooperation (pooling of equipment, goods or services, substitution of resources by waste, sharing economy, etc.). It implies carrying out different types of analysis, and may involve facilitating local recruitment (exchange and demonstration days with students), employement sustainability, and quality of life at work.

The urban community of Le Havre Seine Metropole (275,000 inhabitants living in 54 municipalities) needs a dedicated animation structure for the mobilisation and support of this business cooperation approach. It will help companies to define their needs, to carry out opportunity and feasibility studies and then to invest individually and collectively in shared tools or services (energy, local company catering, mobility, etc.).
