Our team

Dimitri Mertens, Hugues de Meulemeester, Pascal Vermeulen and Michel Cornet combine their awareness as citizens with their competences to elaborate a rational, coherent and accessible solution in response to the global warming crisis. They know that a drastic reduction in greenhouse gases – far beyond the Kyoto objectives – is a major issue.

They are convinced that each member of the human community, including private individuals and collective institutions, have a role to play to limit global warming. It is each person’s contribution that will allow us to leave our children and future generations a quality environment.

Dimitri, Hugues and Pascal created CLIMACT in 2007 to offer everyone credible solutions that allow them to achieve carbon neutrality. Their approach is voluntarist, ambitious and resolutely turned towards improving the context of people’s lives for current and future generations.

CLIMACT has been set up as a trading company in order to invest the income generated by its activity in projects, thus allowing us to fight effectively against global warming.
