Longevity Partners, the global multidisciplinary ESG advisory firm, is proud to announce the launch of Longevity Transaction Services, which will be managed by Laure Ferrand, from their Paris office. The creation of the new Transaction Services division is part of the group's diversification strategy to accelerate the transition to a sustainable economy.

With many years of experience in energy efficiency and sustainable building engineering, Laure Ferrand will expand the sustainability due diligence services to include technical due diligence and climate risk quantification to help clients optimise their transactions, and in the future, offer Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) advisory services for acquisitions and corporate restructuring.

Technical, economic and climate risks are intrinsically linked. Each transaction, whether it is a building, a portfolio, or a company, must take these factors into account. With her experience in CSR due diligence, Laure Ferrand has developed unique skills to establish a department of experts in transactional risk and to support investment teams cross-functionally.

Laure Ferrand, 32, joined Longevity Partners in 2020 as a Senior Energy Consultant, before being appointed Associate Director of the French office in 2021. Prior to this role change, Laure was already in charge of the sustainable development due diligence department at Longevity Partners, for which she has completed more than €8 billion in transactions over the last two years. As head of Longevity Transaction Services, she will be responsible for developing the strategy and managing the operations of the new department on a global scale.

Laure Ferrand holds an MBA in Management and Business Administration from IAE Paris and a master’s degree in Energy and Environment from EPF. She has several years of experience in the implementation of large-scale carbon reduction programmes in the public and private sectors and previously spent 4 years working for Bouygues Energies and Services in London as an energy project engineer.

Laure Ferrand, Global Head of Transaction Services, adds: “I am delighted to take on a new challenge with the Transaction Department. Over the years, we have built up strong skills in understanding the risks and opportunities associated with real estate transactions. Our team is global, but with a strong national knowledge, and is trained to deliver actions with high environmental value. We are navigating in an extremely evolving context, and I will have as a mission to keep Longevity Partners in its expert position and will have the joy of developing new services.”

Etienne Cadestin, founder and global CEO, continues: "The launch of Longevity Transaction Services is part of a logical approach to supporting our clients. The strong demand from our clients in this segment confirms that we are world leaders in sustainable development due diligence. We are therefore adding a few more strings to our bow. Longevity France has been exceptionally successful since the restructuring of the office in 2020."
