YCP in Numbers
Key Challenges We Address
Navigating CSRD, ESRS and the shifting EU rulebook
- France’s largest public-interest companies began CSRD reporting for FY2024, while EU simplification proposals have complicated planning for later reporting waves.
- Against this moving baseline, YCP maps entity-level exposure, designs proportionate ESRS roadmaps and aligns legal, finance and sustainability teams.
Turning carbon-neutrality goals into funded transition plans
- France’s territorial greenhouse-gas emissions were about 32% below 1990 levels in 2023, but carbon neutrality by 2050 requires steeper reductions.
- YCP turns targets into abatement pathways, capex priorities and accountable milestones, linking climate action to operations, growth and investment choices.
Building auditable value-chain data beyond corporate walls
- ESRS require material value-chain information, yet SMEs represent 99.9% of French enterprises, leaving many companies with incomplete supplier data.
- YCP focuses effort on material suppliers and indicators, setting governance, data controls and pragmatic estimation methods that mature with reporting.
Embedding social outcomes alongside environmental targets
- French companies with at least 50 employees must publish a Gender Equality Index; scores below 75/100 require corrective measures and follow-up actions.
- YCP connects workforce, inclusion and community priorities to materiality and KPIs, embedding SDG outcomes in strategy, governance and daily execution.
Nearly half of French firms cite regulatory shifts as a top SDG challenge,
48%*
making tailored SDG consulting crucial for navigating France’s complex policy landscape.
