Trained as a lawyer, Balmary began her career at Renault in 1995, contributing to major projects involving changes to the group's legal structure and mergers and acquisitions. In 2003, she joined the Renault Group's Human Resources department, taking on various responsibilities, including recruitment for France. In September 2017, she joined Michelin as director of Social Relations, France. Her previous experience at Renault was crucial in strengthening social dialogue within Michelin by combining responsibility, agility and social cohesion, Carbios says, capitalizing on her legal skills and in-depth understanding of industrial and human issues.

Ladent says, "I'm delighted to welcome Sophie to the team to help make Carbios an even more attractive company where talent can grow and flourish and contribute to the success of our social and environmental mission. Her extensive experience in human resources in multinationals in the industrial sector will be invaluable to Carbios' ambitious and sustainable development."

"Carbios' mission to bring plastic and textiles into the circular economy represents an innovative and socially responsible approach,” Balmary says. “To accomplish this mission, the commitment of our employees, their development and the attractiveness of Carbios will be essential contributing factors.”
