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.

It has taken me weeks to summon the courage to share this, and even now it is hard to express just how incredible a person Anne was. I worked very closely with her for 4 years. She was whip smart, incredibly organized, strategic, completely no-bullshit, and always willing to give more to what she believed in. She was also loving and kind, thoughtful, funny, and so incredibly fun to be with. She was a colleague, but also a dear friend: someone I trusted implicitly and confided in, someone who made me feel valued, respected, and heard. She was and will remain forever one of my heroes, someone who inspires me always to be my best self, reminds me to let go of the things I cannot control, and places the well-being of those around her (her family, her friends, her colleagues) above all else. There is an Anne-shaped hole in my heart now, and I feel so deeply sad for her kids and for all that the world has lost.
