This distinction rewards Rémi Daccord’s commitment and achievements in favor of the ecological transition.

In 2007, he founded AMOES, a design office specialized in the building sector, in order to take concrete action to reduce CO2 emissions. The company has now become a cooperative with 4 branches in France and about forty employees. In 2009 Rémi participated in the creation of EXOES alongside Arnaud Desrentes, in order to democratize carbon-free mobility solutions.
