About FERMENTALG Société anonyme

Fermentalg Société anonyme is a listed biotechnology company focused on microalgae-based solutions, with a dual governance structure combining a Chairman and a Chief Executive Officer. In the most recent company information available, Pierre Josselin serves as CEO/Directeur général, while Philippe Lavielle chairs the board. The company states that this governance model follows the MiddleNext code for listed SMEs and mid-caps, and is supported by dedicated board committees covering strategy, audit and CSR, as well as compensation and appointments. Under this leadership, Fermentalg has continued to develop since its founding in 2009 in Libourne, France, evolving from an innovative start-up into an industrial player in microalgae biotechnology. The group emphasizes a strategy built on scientific innovation, industrial partnerships, and commercial expansion in ingredients, nutrition and BioSolutions. Its public materials also highlight a strong ESG orientation, with sustainability integrated into governance, operational decisions, and performance metrics. The company points to environmental and social stewardship as a core part of its long-term value creation model. Pierre Josselin’s role is presented as central to the execution of this strategy: overseeing general management, aligning the organization around key functions, and supporting the company’s industrial scale-up and market development. Fermentalg’s communications also stress transparency with shareholders, rigorous board oversight, and responsible decision-making as defining features of its leadership approach. For a publicly traded biotechnology company operating in a fast-evolving sector, that combination of scientific ambition, operational discipline, and governance rigor is especially important.
