“Un café avec” Nicole Bartoli qui se lance dans l'entrepreneuriat en montant sa société de consulting en développement durable.l Diane Petitmangin
After the mayor of Béziers, Robert Ménard, who opened the show on Sunday, December 8, for this new Sunday column “A coffee with”, an informal conversation with a personality from Béziers, in the heart of the Biltoki market halls, today it's time for Nicole Bartoli, consultant in ecological transition and sustainable development..
We knew her as an activist, even an activist, to save trees and defend the environment. Now, Nicole Bartoli is taking a new step by setting up her company and becoming “sustainable development consultant.” I had wanted to get involved in economic entrepreneurship for a long time. I left my salaried job in 2023 and I launched myself this year, with the strength of my five years of activism, which allowed me to develop my skills.”
Her experience in the field, her readings and her discussions with many stakeholders have pushed her to transform “this activist passion into concrete actions”, in the face of the climate emergency and “the state of unpreparedness in which we find ourselves”.

However, there is no question of giving a moral lesson. “It is not just about defending the environment but about being in a constructive approach” to enable businesses, schools or local authorities to adopt a sustainable development and ecological transition approach.
Because for Nicole Bartoli,“the situation is really serious. If we don't act, if we don't try to question our production or consumption models, we're heading for disaster. Ecology is not punitive. The punishment is the people of Valencia who have suffered it… We shouldn't stop everything, but we should return to common sense policies”, when we accepted living with nature without putting it on credit.
Return to local
“We must promote local know-how, whether in the field of industry or agriculture”. And stop with“initiatives that don't make sense, like this golf project in the Pyrénées-Orientales, while the department has been suffering from constant drought for several years. Or turning a blind eye to the disastrous consequences of pesticides on the environment and on humans as well. We have disconnected ourselves from nature for our comfort”.
Certainly, the neo-consultant in sustainable development, who has just registered with Medef, admits it: “Everything won't happen in the blink of an eye”. But faced with the lack of ambition and vision at the national or international level, “we need to get back to the local level” .
A network of experts
Nicole Bartoli wants to “offer businesses, associations or communities the opportunity to adapt to the vagaries of climate change by helping them cope with episodes of drought or heatwave” , through targeted support, participatory workshops or expert advice.
“I don't claim to have the answer to everything, but I work with a network of experts and I am convinced that by combining our expertise, we can succeed in improving the situation.”
