They are <strong>the drivers of sustainable growth<\/strong>. Better still, France Invest promotes activities with a positive societal impact. Those that can generate a just and healthy transition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These notions are not contradictory, because being sustainable means being profitable, and being profitable means being sustainable.
