Emmanuel Druon is an entrepreneur, author, and speaker. Since 1997, he has led Pocheco, an envelope manufacturer based in Northern France, which has become a model of applied industrial ecology.
Educated in the humanities at the Sorbonne, Emmanuel began his career in major industrial groups such as L’Oréal and Le Bourget, where he held senior marketing positions. In 1997, he took over the management of Pocheco, a century-old company specializing in envelope production. Confronted with the limitations of the traditional industrial model, he decided to transform the business by developing an innovative approach: ecolonomy. This method, which he has been implementing for over 25 years, seeks to reconcile ecology, economic performance, and workplace well-being, proving that producing differently is not only possible, but also profitable and sustainable.
With its team of 85 employees, Pocheco has become a zero-plastic, zero-waste site, self-sufficient in energy and water, and a true biodiversity corridor, home to more than 170 documented species.
Today, ecolonomy is applied in over 500 companies supported by the consulting firm he founded, Pocheco Conseil Ouvert, which brings together 12 expert consultants.
Emmanuel is the author of several books published by Actes Sud and appeared in the award-winning documentary Tomorrow (Demain, César for Best Documentary). He has also been invited to speak at high-profile events, including the G7 Environment Summit in Berlin.
He delivers an average of 50 conferences per year, in France and internationally
