Expertise

ADEME's expertise is the fruit of a collective effort and shared visions:
 

• arising from the practice of the agency's four vocations: developing knowledge, advising, convincing and assisting with implementation;
• based on a diverse organisation: national central departments with an international outlook and regional divisions;
• in contact with networks of stakeholders, their knowledge and practices.

This expertise is founded on a systemic approach to, as far as possible:
 

• take account of all environmental and sustainable development related issues;
• be based on technical as well as economic or financial and sociological elements;
• integrate probable changes, identified during forward-looking discussions;
• exploit all levers to aid decision-making.

This collective and cross-cutting approach to expertise ensures it is objective, impartial and scientifically neutral.
