Brainstormed by a unique team of professionals, pixán is a group of companies established in Paris, Lisbon and London.

Our mission is to think and to grow sustainability strategies and projects that “meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own” (cf., Gro Harlem Brundtland, Our Common Future, 1987).

To that aim, the very deep core of pixán‘s DNA is made of three principles : 

In a business context, sustainability encompasses a broad range of interlinked perennity and durability issues and factors (a.k.a. the ‘’triple bottom line’’), to create a more prosperous future for all stakeholders. Therefore, sustainability is a matter of making multiple choices, and ensuring that these choices are not forced upon businesses, and/or ultimately, upon us.

This implies not only having the strategic capacity to make these choices, but also the strategic autonomy to manage them over time. Especially in sensitive areas, such as health, and/or sovereign areas such as defense or justice, and at times when more information technology self-sufficiency is a must.

Which is why, at pixàn, we believe that there are no viable sustainability strategies without sovereignty first.

Investors engaged in ESG Country Analysis widely use four pillar Sovereign Sustainability models.

Typically, such models are constructed so that the four forms of capital – Natural Capital, Human Capital, Social Capital, or Economic Capital- are substitutable (which some refer as “weak sustainability” models).

At pixán, we consider, by default, that four-pillar models must be applied (and tuned) to all entities that ambition tangible results in their sustainability strategies, whatever their sizes or industry sectors, being private or public.

Natural Capital is finite.

Even regenerative natural resources (water, forest, …) are limited by the speed and extent of their renewal.

Hence, at pixán, we bluntly consider that Natural Capital cannot be substituted or replaced with any of the other three forms of capital.

Meaning that, by default, we advocate for “strong sustainability” models.

More generally, at pixán, we promote a no non-sense approach to advisory, tech and sovereign sustainability solutions and services.

And, at the difference of most, pixán is quietly fueled by the strongest methods, the best data, and the brightest minds.
