Julhiet Sterwen + (RE)SET create the leader in sustainable transformation consulting to meet environmental, business and social challenges
Julhiet Sterwen, a strategy, transformation and innovation consulting company, and (RE)SET, a resource efficiency and circular/regenerative economy specialist, announced today exciting new cooperation between the two companies. As a purpose-driven company recognized for its Consulting for Good commitment, Julhiet Sterwen will now be in a stronger position to cover all business, environmental and social transitions.
Drawing on the three pillars of CSR
Since our earliest days, we have based our growth on the idea that transformations only generate lasting results if business issues (market, customers, organization, processes and digitalization) are tackled at the same time as people issues (governance, management, skills, culture, engagement and soft skills). Likewise, we are convinced that no environmental transition is possible without a viable business model.
Thanks to (RE)SET, the Julhiet Sterwen Group can now cover all three aspects of corporate transformations: business, people and environment.
Bringing expertise to enable action
With (RE)SET, Julhiet Sterwen is now present across the entire value chain, supporting customers from strategy to implementation. Working alongside leading public and private organizations, the Group offers proven expertise in every dimension of business, environmental and social transitions, since none of these transitions can be successful in isolation.
Julhiet Sterwen and (RE)SET share a culture focused on action, practicality and tenacity. It’s good to talk but better to take action! We also share the conviction that companies must not limit their environmental policies to carbon emissions but consider all resources.
With 650 employees, Julhiet Sterwen and (RE)SET together offer around 20 areas of expertise in specific sectors, professions and skills to help customers manage successful transitions.

Marc Sabatier, CEO and founder of Julhiet Sterwen, is delighted with this strategic move: “The arrival of (RE)SET teams at Julhiet Sterwen Group brings us decisive environmental expertise. We now have all the right skills to drive sustainable transformations and help companies meet the unprecedented challenges facing them today. Also, we share with (RE)SET a taste for entrepreneurship and a culture based on action, practicality and tenacity. This is essential, given that the biggest challenge is execution!”
Géraldine Poivert, co-founder of RE(SET), said: “Our production and consumption models no longer work: water stress, resource scarcity and geopolitical conflicts call for industrial sovereignty. Transition has become essential. Companies and states that already have changed their trajectories and frameworks are stronger, reducing their vulnerability, avoiding regulatory penalties and seizing unique opportunities for innovation and growth. CDP’s 2022 report surveyed 18,000 companies that had published reports and only 0.4% had drawn up a plan of action. Our vocation is to help all the others!”
Since 2019, (RE)SET has worked with major corporations, mid-size companies and SMEs, as well as public authorities and industry leaders to define and implement ambitious environmental strategies. From vision to execution, we partner with our clients on the frontline of their transformations: this is the (RE)SET Model®, designed for vision and action. We build comprehensive or specific solutions and shared approaches to meet current challenges and empower the future leaders of a sustainable resource economy. In textiles, packaging, cosmetics, luxury, homewares, farming, agrifood, mobility, construction and other sectors, we take the challenges!
