What Teragir does

Teragir is a French non-profit association (association reconnue d'intérêt général) founded in 1983 and headquartered in Paris at 115 rue du Faubourg Poissonnière. Its mission is sustainable development education, which it delivers through five action programs organized into three pillars: Education & Youth (Eco-Ecole, Jeunes Reporters pour l'Environnement, Journée internationale des forêts); Sustainable Tourism (Pavillon Bleu for beaches/marinas/boats, Clef Verte for accommodations and restaurants); and Citizen Engagement (Action Solution). The association supports more than 10,000 sustainable development projects annually across metropolitan and overseas France.

The platform architecture is operational rather than technical: Teragir runs label adjudication and program management for its five programs, enabling more than 3,500 labeled sites (485 Pavillon Bleu sites and 3,035 Clef Verte establishments in 2026) and engaging youth media projects through Jeunes Reporters pour l'Environnement (nearly 1,000 participants in 2026). The association benefits from international reach as a founding member of the Foundation for Environmental Education (FEE), a network spanning 81 countries.

Its business model is a non-profit funding structure. Revenue derives from technical and financial support by French ministries, eco-organisms, public institutions, territorial authorities, businesses, associations, and individuals. Donations are tax-deductible at 60% for businesses and 66% for individuals. Teragir is governed by a board of directors and led by president Charles-Henry Dubail (since May 28, 2026). No equity, M&A, or venture funding exists; the entity is a recognized non-profit with no disclosed financial statements.
