What Sulitest does

Sulitest (legally Sulitest Impact) is a French non-profit association operating under Association loi 1901 law, founded in 2014 and headquartered at the KEDGE Business School campus in Marseille, France. The organization develops and operates TASK™ (The Assessment of Sustainability Knowledge), a psychometric multiple-choice certification platform designed to measure, benchmark, and certify foundational knowledge of sustainability topics across environmental, social, and systemic change dimensions. TASK™ comprises 112 questions completed in 80 minutes, is available in English, French, and Spanish, supports in-class, controlled-environment, and AI-proctored remote delivery, and issues scored certificates with four-year validity. The platform includes cohort comparison dashboards, global benchmarking, and three segment variants targeting higher education, companies/organizations, and individuals.

Sulitest operates a freemium and subscription revenue model: free basic accounts are available to individuals, while paid organizational subscriptions unlock advanced admin features, cohort analytics, and assessment administration rights. Distribution follows a hybrid sales-led and community-led GTM motion — direct enterprise outreach via HubSpot-scheduled demos is combined with a network of over 60 "Change Leader" institutions (primarily universities and business schools) that act as ambassadors and adoption catalysts. Marketing reaches prospects through the sulitest.org website, LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook, case studies, and email. The IT and data infrastructure is operated through partner ALEAUR, with storage in ISO 27001, ISO 22301, ISO 9001, PCI-DSS, and SOC-certified French data centers.

The customer base is anchored in higher education, with named institutional users including KEDGE Business School, HEC Montréal, Université Paris-Saclay, UCL, KAUST, ESSEC, Grenoble School of Management, IESEG, EM Normandie, École des Ponts ParisTech, and approximately 25 other universities and schools across more than 20 countries. To date, Sulitest has assessed over 80,000 individuals globally. Strategic partners include KEDGE (incubator, headquarters host, and capital contributor), AACSB International (accreditation body endorsement), and The Shift Project (sustainability movement partner). The organization raised €1.5 million in March 2022 (per funding data, led by KIMPA with KEDGE as anchor contributor) to scale TASK™ as an international certification standard and deploy new educational tools including the Expandia train-the-trainer program.
