LEMON TRI with Augustin JACLIN (EDHEC 2010), wins the EDHEC Socially Responsible Organisation Award 2017

Interviews

-

06.28.2017

Entrepreneur in sustainable development and the social and solidarity economy; Augustin has contributed to the launch of several business projects in France, Canada and the US.

Augustin Jaclin, Socially Responsible Organisation 2017 and Lionel Audigier, Socially Responsible Organisation 2016

 

 

 

In 2010, he co-founded LEMON TRI, an innovative company that recycles drinks packaging through the installation and operation of intelligent collection sites. LEMON TRI recovers millions of packages through “incentivising” units distributed across France and Belgium. Each user who sorts waste is motivated by a fun reward-based system, and each package is 100% recycled as part of a circular economy.

In 2016, to ensure LEMON TRI would have more of a social impact, he launched an outreach subsidiary known as LEMON AIDE in partnership with FACE (Fondation Agir Contre l’Exclusion) and the Danone Fund for Nature. The objective was to facilitate the reinsertion of people outside the job market by providing training in recycling and logistics. The gamble has paid off: LEMON AIDE is currently running its second training course for 8 employees, and the programme’s first beneficiaries experienced a rate of return to employment of 85%.

Augustin is a graduate of EDHEC (GE 2011) and a former participant in Columbia University’s international competition for entrepreneurs: NYC Next Idea. He regularly contributes to conferences and helped to draw up the Attali report, “Pour une économie positive”, submitted to President Hollande. He gives classes on “social entrepreneurship” at EDHEC.
