A consulting firm specializing in environmental and social transition, founded by Benoit DUMAS
“
What fascinates me about the environmental and social transition is its ability to bring about lasting change in organizations—provided it is approached holistically so that it can be applied across all activities.
I am convinced that companies have a major role to play in these transformations; I have experienced this firsthand throughout my career in industry. But to bring about lasting change, it’s not enough to simply set goals: you have to get teams on board, share knowledge to build their skills, and empower them to act independently.
This is the approach I strive to develop every day with the organizations and students I work with, combining strategic vision with operational rigor.

Maliro's Core Values
In my line of work, I talk a lot about numbers: metric tons ofCO2e, millions of euros, megawatt-hours, and so on. However, my experience as a manager has taught me one thing: it’s impossible to achieve good numerical results without getting employees on board. People always play a key role in transition processes, which is why Maliro’s values all reflect this aspect.
Trust
It is fundamental to my work, which involves getting right to the heart of organizational processes by working hand in hand with you.
Share
Each mentoring relationship is developed collaboratively, based on mutual guidance and learning, so that everyone can push boundaries using their complementary skills.
Transmission
Education is at the heart of my work, whether I’m helping teams gain a deeper understanding of the topics or facilitating knowledge transfer.
Involvement
I am committed to working closely with my clients. I believe in a results-oriented approach, with a focus on excellence.
Adaptability
I am convinced that premium support must be tailored to each client’s needs and requires adapting to each specific context to ensure responsiveness and flexibility.

Equipping the Professionals of Tomorrow
Alongside my consulting work, teaching is another way for me to share the knowledge I’ve gained through my experiences. I believe it’s essential to provide tomorrow’s managers with the tools they need to understand environmental and social issues and to share practical methods they can apply in their professional practice—this is key to building responsible and resilient organizations.
