Eleonore Blondeau, young emlyon business school graduate, chose entrepreneurship to promote eco-responsibility and evolve in a challenging environment. Passionate about environment and Corporate Social Responsibility, she was responsible of her university’s sustainable development association, and she is now working on CleanCup, the environmental startup she has founded.


Eléonore is a young entrepreneur that did her first big move at the age of 19 when she left France for Australia without speaking English, by herself, with her money earned by the sweat of her brow every summer since her 15. Then she wanted to do something more, that’s why she came back to France and did a 1 year double cursus to get into emlyon business school and there something happened: she discovered the associative world, while behing in charge of the sustainable development association of the school, she engaged with several other initiatives in France (Refedd, Cli’Mates, WARN, CleanTech Forum…). She is now expert in Corporate Social Responsibility and Cleantech and has started her own startup “CleanCup”.
