Sophie leads the Policy & Regulatory Affairs team at STRIVE by STX, the dedicated climate action arm of STX Group. STRIVE by STX advises companies in every step of the decarbonization and net-zero journey. As part of STX Group, we have access to the widest cross-commodity portfolio of products, deep sectorial expertise from 20 years of being in business, and the global reach and resources of the STX Group. Since joining STX in October 2022, Sophie has been instrumental in advising companies on corporate sustainability standards, climate reporting, and decarbonization regulations. Her background in Engineering, complemented by an M.Sc. in Advanced Environmental & Energy Studies, has equipped her with a profound understanding of renewable energy and green policies. She's lived and worked in the UK from 2005 to 2017, including on renewable energy development and fuel poverty alleviation, before moving to work for the UK government at the British Embassy in Paris, to attract foreign investors on renewable infrastructure projects. She played a key role in preparing French economic actors for COP26 and secured their participation in various high-profile climate initiatives. A tireless advocate for robust yet pragmatic climate standards, Sophie collaborates closely with industry associations to ensure these standards are not only widely adopted by corporations but also make a credible impact.
