Core offering

Terravox delivers circular economy consulting and field-based awareness services to French social housing providers (bailleurs sociaux) and local authorities (collectivités territoriales). The offering centers on a four-pillar portfolio — Diagnostic 360° residential assessments, Sensibilisation door-to-door awareness campaigns, customized Plan d'action roadmaps, and Formation training programs for proximity staff — supplemented by specialized water/energy conservation modules and circular community programs.

Product overview

Terravox is a circular and solidarity economy services company that offers a four-pillar service portfolio — Diagnostic 360°, Sensibilisation (awareness), Plan d'action (action planning), and Formation (training) — aimed at social landlords (bailleurs sociaux) and local authorities (collectivités territoriales) in France. These core services are supplemented by specialized modules including water and energy savings awareness missions, inter-stakeholder connection workshops (Ateliers d'interconnaissance), and Ma Communauté Circulaire (MCC) circular community programs. Terravox's approach is grounded in a POUVOIR–SAVOIR–VOULOIR (ability–knowledge–willingness) triptych and behavioral science research, combining field diagnostics, on-the-ground sensitization, co-constructed action plans, and professional training to improve waste management performance and living conditions in social housing and priority urban neighborhoods.
