Sepia Agency ltd.

I organize inspirational events and workshops focused on sustainability. During workshops and 1:1 sessions, I’m helping you / your team to learn how to deal better with climate change crisis challenges through an innovative approach based on my 10 years field experience in the impact and sustainability environment.

For corporations: I organize workshops, "Human resources for climate change crisis times" - "Execution with impact" - "Leadership for purpose" - "Social and Impact Business Acceleration".

For universities: I train your pedagogical team to run a Sustainability and Impact Club (workshops, topic discussions, talks with guests and powerful challenges serving the community) as the one I’ve created at Tampere Universities for Y-Kampus in 2019-2020.

For local governance: I boost the change maker’s work by making them more visible to the civil society, I organize sustainable events and create innovative contents and material to accelerate lifestyles changes.

My strong experience with international partners and impact players in the sustainability field is here to serve and support your structure, your team or your project.

Making sustainability more visible in Tampere and Pirkanmaa

In Autumn 2019, Sepia Agency launched sustainabletampere.fi to highlight the sustainable solutions in Tampere and Pirkanmaa region. In March 2020, the Sustainability & Impact Club create for Tampere Universities at Y-Kampus was created.

In the past...

Between 2012 and 2017, Seepia was an online publishing house. By creating Seepia I wanted to open a space for literature that promoted a vision of a more caring and sustainable world.

These past 6 years of activity have resulted in a catalog of 17 titles in French and rich collaborations: a successful crowdfunding campaign to fund the translation of Janice Ray’s (US) essay on seeds keeping with support of Vandana Shiva (India), the project leaders of a new Lexicon involving +200 French contributors, the discovery of Jeff Knaebel’s adventure (US/India), and the spirit of cooperation with the great teacher Christine Marsan (France).

Like all cultural enterprises, publishing has become industrialized and generates enormous waste. Every year only in France, 110 million pounds of published works are destroyed 2-3 months after publication (here, in French). Consequently Seepia Publishing chose print-on-demand and did not distribute books on Amazon.

We no longer publish books.
