📢 The 13th edition of our #AccuracyTalksStraight is now out - and it tackles one of the most urgent issues of our time: how #Europe can defend itself in a world that’s becoming increasingly unstable. With geopolitical tensions escalating across the globe and the resurgence of high-intensity conflicts, including on European soil, Europe knows that it must rely primarily, if not exclusively, on itself to ensure its security and sovereignty - that is, to safeguard its freedom and maintain control over its own destiny. The time has come for rearmament and, in doing so, for the mobilisation of considerable financial, industrial and technological resources. Faced with the ‘shock of realities’, the old continent is organising itself to adapt to new areas of conflict, whether in space, under the seas, or in cyberspace. The most fundamental, urgent, and demanding challenge? Building solid European defence industries capable of strengthening the Union’s operational capabilities and realising its ambition for credible strategic autonomy. However, this dynamic cannot ignore the need for a genuine #warecology, in which the rise in power must be balanced with the imperatives of #sustainability, industrial sovereignty and environmental resilience. Our publication explores the conditions necessary for achieving such autonomy: innovative financing, targeted industrial alliances, and public-private partnerships… 📖 Read the editorial by our president Frédéric Duponchel 👉 https://lnkd.in/eS8Nkq3G 📖 Read the full edition 👉 https://lnkd.in/efypsJUY

🎤 At last week’s Rencontres Économiques d’Aix organised by Le Cercle des économistes, our partner David Chollet took part in the panel “ESG and businesses: Ambition facing reality”, alongside leading experts: Daniel Biarneix (AFTE - The French Association Of Corporate Treasurers), Mirela Agache Durand, CFA (AFG), Edouard Vieillefond (CCR - Caisse Centrale de Réassurance), and Estelle Sauvat (GROUPE ALPHA).   Together, they explored the concrete actions companies can take to navigate an uncertain economic landscape - one where ESG considerations are set to become increasingly central in the years ahead.   With the world edging closer to the tipping points identified by the IPCC, David stressed the urgent need for businesses to integrate ESG into their core strategies today. The companies that make bold, forward-thinking choices now will be those best positioned to lead tomorrow.   📺 Watch his interview for deeper insights on the topic ⬇️ #REAix2025 #ESG #Sustainability #Leadership #Accuracy

☀️ Held every summer in Aix-en-Provence, the Rencontres Economiques d’Aix is an open-to-all event that brings together many of today’s leading decision-makers: CEOs, economists, policymakers, students and citizens, for three days of debate on the major challenges shaping our world. The event is well known for its frank and constructive discussions, fostering genuine dialogue and collective progress. This 25th edition gathered 380 speakers across 70 panels, with more than 7,000 attendees. It remains a unique opportunity to meet and exchange with high-profile leaders from around the world, all in a refreshingly informal setting. We were thrilled to see so many new faces and to reconnect with familiar ones. Topics ranged from #climate #transition and the future of #capitalism to #geopolitical fragmentation and #innovation. This year, once again, Accuracy was proud to be part of the conversation, participating on stage for the third time. 🎤 Our partner David Chollet spoke on the panel “Corporate ESG: Back to Reality”, where the discussion centred on the growing gap between #ESG commitments and actual implementation. While frameworks such as the #CSRD help bring structure, they also introduce complexity and rising scepticism. What stood out is that companies remain willing to play their part, as long as we simplify, clarify and stay committed. Our delegation this year also included Frédéric Duponchel, Sophie Chassat, Nicolas Darbo, Sébastien Gonnet, Florian Massé, Helena JAVITTE and Hervé Goulletquer, who contributed his insights throughout the weekend. #REAix2025 #Sustainability #Economy #PublicDebate Le Cercle des économistes

🔍 As the Rencontres Économiques d’Aix-en-Provence, organised by Le Cercle des économistes, opened yesterday, Accuracy is proud to share an op-ed by our Chief Economist Hervé Goulletquer, published on the globally respected platform Project Syndicate. In Is Today’s Market Exuberance Rational?, Hervé offers a sharp perspective on the disconnect between buoyant US markets and rising geopolitical and monetary instability. He deciphers how today’s uncertainty - driven by protectionism, inflation risks, and the shift from globalisation to what he calls “finitude capitalism” - could reshape capital flows, policy frameworks, and investor behavior. Project Syndicate is home to the world’s leading economists and thinkers. We are honoured that Hervé’s voice contributes to this global conversation at such a pivotal time.

🏗️ Why do construction projects so often go wrong? There are many studies and opinions on this. Our own research shows a diverse range of root causes. In his article "Putting projects back on track: What good is a growing pipeline if your projects don't turn a profit", our director Mathew Hazenberg shares hard-earned lessons from turning around troubled projects. From facing tough truths to making bold trade-offs, he breaks down what it takes to shift course and why the project team may not be enough to do it alone.   Read the full article here 👉 https://lnkd.in/eZHNE3Ne   #ProjectRecovery #AccuracyInsights #ConstructionLeadership

📣 We are proud to announce that Accuracy will be participating in the Rencontres économiques d’Aix-en-Provence (#REAix) on July 3-4-5, 2025! Organised by the Le Cercle des économistes, this major international forum brings together over 380 high-level figures from 51 countries to discuss major economic, political and social issues. As #ESG commitments shift from boardroom pledges to binding regulatory obligations, businesses find themselves at a crossroads. Regulations have been considered too rigorous with strong non-financial reporting requirements. How can ESG remain a meaningful tool for transformation rather than becoming a compliance hurdle? 🎙️ On 5 July, our partner David Chollet will be discussing this hot topic in the roundtable "ESG and Businesses: Ambition Facing Reality", alongside Mirela Agache Durand, CFA (AFG), Daniel Biarneix (AFTE - The French Association Of Corporate Treasurers), Estelle Sauvat (GROUPE ALPHA) and Edouard Vieillefond (CCR - Caisse Centrale de Réassurance). The discussion with be coordinated by Emmanuelle Auriol (Le Cercle des économistes) and moderated by Gaëlle Fleitour (Ouest-France).

📊 #Demography is far from neutral; it reflects political choices and worldviews. Since the 18th century, measuring #populations has served to better govern them, giving rise to a form of power Michel Foucault called "biopower". Still today, data on #migration, #ageing and #publichealth reveal political stakes. Every statistic must be contextualised: what is being measured, and for what purpose? In the 12th edition of our #AccuracyTalksStraight series, our partner Sophie Chassat highlights the importance of demography as a tool of power, particularly for economic or public health purposes.
