Claire Berrebi is a tax lawyer. She co-founded Ether Impact with Estelle Joan, a consulting firm specializing in structuring social innovation within companies.

Research can be conducted in all types of fields, particularly in the social sciences. This is a relatively underexplored market that has caught the attention of Clarisse Berrebi. 

Together with her colleague, they will conduct surveys across all areas of a company with Ether Impact to identify how the company is innovating. This work will enable the company to seek research tax credits or assist in its mission report as a mission-driven company, or in its report on social and solidarity economy...

“Today, companies are searching for meaning, not only for their employees but also for their suppliers and customers,” explains Clarisse Berrebi. “They want to have an impact.” 

For her, companies will have no choice but to address the shortcomings of the state, which will not be able to meet all salary and environmental needs. “That’s why we are very proud to work on the research tax credit because, for us, it’s the best way to redistribute public finances by helping companies to be more impactful in the environment in which we operate.”
