A social and cultural anthropologist, Anne-Sophie Sayeux is involved in research into the body, sensations and nature. Beginning her studies of surfing in the Basque Country in the late 1990s, she laid the foundations for what might constitute a surfing identity and culture. In recent years, her work has focused on handi-surfing (with the Association Nationale Handi Surf), with a view to questioning notions of well-being experienced through the body, and more broadly of overall health, particularly in eco-therapies, and blue spaces more specifically.
She coordinates the CORTO program - Corps et Thérapeutiques Océaniques - in partnership with AP-HP Hôpital Marin d'Hendaye(This work has received support under the program " Investissement d'Avenir " launched by the French Government and implemented by ANR, with the reference " ANR-18-IdEx-0001 " as part of its program " Emergence).
Between 2003 and 2006, she worked in the corporate world as part of her thesis under a CIFFRE agreement with Décathlon International at Water Sport Hendaye - Tribord Glisse (Olaian).
Inscribed in an anthropology of the near, her various past, present and future fields, such as surfing, street arts, electronic music and disability, enable her to explore the different ways in which we feel the world, and the many ways in which we cobble together identities that lead to a certain well-being.
Expertise: Surf - identity - culture - gender - meaning - body - disability - nature - well-being - blue therapy - ecotherapy.

By connecting those who have too much and those who don't have enough, he and his team of 200 employees have set themselves a clear objective: to move towards #ZeroWaste and accelerate the transition to a more circular economy! They save nearly 80 million meals every year.

From September 2024, I will be responsible for CSR projects at EUROsima, the European federation of the surf and water sports industry.
I have a particular attraction for research work, from a style & sociological point of view, I develop trend presentations, market intelligence and brand DNA analysis (stylistic, fashion) and the resulting design and sourcing proposals. Pooling these skills, I create editorial content in the form of Masterclasses, articles and conferences for the press, trade shows and schools.
Expatriation offered me the unique experience of adapting to new cultures and situations. It enabled me to become more intuitive, dynamic, cooperative and thus to evolve towards a service profile and "cultural linker". Finally, in 2022 I become Bleaders of Bcorp™ because their tools offer a systemic, synthetic and operational vision that appeals to everyone. And in 2023, I'm invited to be an observer on a UN | UNEP "Beyond 2020" project working on improving circularity and the impacts of chemicals on the textile, health and agri-food sectors.
