A social change maker and expert in Corporate Social Responsibility, London-born Clare Hart now lives with her family in southern France. She is passionate about gender equality and social inclusion
through grassroots mobilization, and a fervent charity activist.
After her University years (Nottingham) and a year spent in an NGO in India (New Delhi, Calcutta, Mumbai), she created a professional training company in 1993, and since she has counseled and
trained multiple executives on cross-cultural management and cross-cultural communication. She strived to make her company an example of CSR management, and won several ISO labels for this action. She then moved on to influence business practices beyond her own company, by joining the French Chamber of Commerce and the Foundation of Action for Social Inclusion. Many group action plans ensued, around youth integration, anti-discrimination practices, gender equality, asylum-seeker support and integration, business social rating systems…
She became national vice-president of Le Refuge, a Foundation providing support for young homeless LGBT youth, working to improve the NGO’s international outreach by building a European network and joining international think-and-do-tanks on these subjects.
She was decorated with the European Award for Merit in 2013 and the Légion d’Honneur in 2014.
