Philanthropy Engineering
Structuring your Nature commitments for greater impact
Why rethink your philanthropy?
Supporting associations, projects, or local initiatives is one of the ways companies can act for nature and society.
However, given the diversity of causes, actors, and formats (financial donations, in-kind support, skills-based volunteering…), there is a risk of spreading efforts too thin and diluting impact.
Philanthropy engineering gives strategic coherence to your nature-related support commitments: invest your resources, but direct them where they matter most—for nature and for your business.

FAQ
What is the difference between classic philanthropy and philanthropy engineering?
Classic philanthropy provides resources (usually financial) to non-profit organizations running projects.
Philanthropy engineering structures these funds around measurable, strategic objectives aligned with your ESG priorities.
How can I measure the impact of my Nature philanthropy actions?
Through clear indicators: hectares restored, species protected, volumes of water saved, number of local beneficiaries, involvement of employees.
Can philanthropy contribute to CSRD or Article 29 reporting?
Yes. If it is structured and aligned with your material objectives, sponsorship enriches your non-financial reports by demonstrating your concrete commitments to biodiversity and climate.
