Anne Valette

September 2, 1977 - October 20, 2020

Our beloved colleague and friend Anne joined Greenpeace France back in 2006, as a volunteer coordinator. She shifted to working as an energy campaigner, then as a team leader for the sustainable agriculture campaign. Most of us in the global Greenpeace network will know and remember her for the incredible energy and leadership she showed while developing and launching the global Meat and Dairy campaign. It was in the most demanding positions that Anne's professional and personal gifts were so valuable: a relentless energy, a deep commitment to the cause, the care she had as a team leader in fighting for her colleagues and her project... For the best of the last 15 years, Anne was an inspiration to many of us, as a campaigner, as a team leader, as a friend. Anne passed away in a tragic accident on the 20th of October 2020. She will be remembered as a passionate environmentalist and a caring colleague, but foremost as the loving mother of 10-year-old twins Lou and Matheo. All our thoughts and love now go to them, to Anne's family, and to those closest to her. We will miss you, Anne.

I met Anne in my first few weeks of working for Greenpeace UK, attending a European meeting in Brussels in November 2007. She touched me immediately, as she does with everyone who met her. Her vitality, her beauty, her modest confidence and her unbelievably kind yet no-nonsense spirit. We charted similar journeys through Greenpeace from our different offices, as young campaigners working on car regulations, energy and oil, to the Arctic campaign and then to campaigning on food and Meat & Dairy. Anne will always be a role model for me and my heart will always feel the pain that she was taken before her time. She shines on wherever there is the fight for justice and compassion. Dear Anne, we will miss you xx
