Verdikt

What Verdikt does

Verdikt is a French SaaS company founded in October 2021 by Christine Heckmann (CEO, former senior CIO) and Hélène Levrault at Station F in Paris. The company operates an IT sustainability platform that measures, monitors, and reduces the ESG impacts of corporate IT departments across three dimensions — Planet (environmental/carbon), People (social), and Profit (economic) — covering 16 UN SDGs and the full IT stack including endpoints, cloud, purchasing, applications, and AI. The platform is built around a proprietary database of 15,000+ sourced emission factors and a methodology accredited by Association Bilan Carbone (ABC) compliant with Bilan Carbone® v8, CSRD, and GHG Protocol. Technical components include ServiceNow connectors for automated asset collection, proprietary emissions matching and enriching algorithms, and IT governance features; data connections are read-only, EU-hosted, GDPR-compliant, and CyberVadis-assessed.

The company runs a sales-led enterprise go-to-market, targeting CIOs, IT Directors, and CSR/Sustainable Digital Managers at CAC 40 and large international enterprises via a "Book a demo" Calendly conversion path with quote-based annual subscriptions. Distribution combines direct sales, a channel partner network of certified consulting firms (KaOra, KH Corporate, Néosoft, Advents), and a technology integration with EasyVista that embeds Verdikt into a global ITSM platform. Named customers include Saint-Gobain (3+ years of use), Arkema (full IT footprint across 3 brands and 25 countries with twice-yearly autonomous refresh), and Groupe RATP. The IT Provider offering extends the platform to IT services firms for project-level sustainability assessment, while the IT Suppliers & Manufacturers segment addresses Scope 3 upstream measurement needs.

Verdikt is structured as Verdikt SAS, registered in Nanterre with €10,000 share capital and headquartered in Châtillon. The company has grown to approximately 10-15 employees by mid-2024 and has received notable recognition including the BPI i-Nov award (December 2021), GreenTech Innovation label from the French Ministry of Ecological Transition (2022), Station F Future 40 (2022), and ABC compliance certification (April 2025). No external venture capital funding rounds are disclosed, suggesting growth has been funded primarily through the BPI i-Nov grant and operating revenue.

Broad incumbents

• Workiva: Cloud platform for ESG, sustainability, audit, and regulatory reporting used by large enterprises. Comparable as a horizontal ESG reporting backbone for CSRD; broader scope (not IT-specific) and a much larger installed base, making it both a competitor and an integration partner candidate.
• Sphera: Long-standing enterprise ESG/EHS software vendor with a strong European customer base and CSRD-aligned reporting modules. Comparable as an incumbent in regulated reporting for large industrials like Saint-Gobain and Arkema; broader scope than IT but overlapping ESG reporting buyers.
• Microsoft Sustainability Manager: Microsoft's ESG and carbon management cloud, deeply integrated with Azure, M365, and the broader enterprise stack. Comparable as a one-stop-shop sustainability suite that targets the same CIO/CFO buyers and can deliver carbon data natively from Azure workloads.
• Salesforce Net Zero Cloud: Enterprise sustainability cloud from Salesforce covering carbon accounting and ESG disclosures. Comparable as an incumbent ESG suite; brings vastly larger sales/distribution scale and may absorb IT carbon use cases within its broader platform.

Direct peers

• Plan A: Berlin-based carbon accounting and ESG SaaS targeting corporates, with Scope 3 coverage and CSRD-aligned reporting. Comparable in being a SaaS-first climate platform for European enterprises with a sales-led GTM and CSRD positioning.
• Sweep: Sustainability/ESG data platform with strong coverage of Scope 3, supplier engagement, and CSRD reporting. Comparable as a multi-stakeholder (customer + supplier + consultant) carbon platform with a French/European footprint and similar horizontal go-to-market.
• Persefoni: Carbon accounting and ESG platform for enterprises, covering financial-grade emissions across Scope 1–3. Comparable as a B2B SaaS targeting CFO/CIO compliance buyers; broader than Verdikt (not IT-specific) but directly relevant for IT carbon and CSRD workstreams.
• Watershed: Enterprise carbon accounting SaaS covering Scope 1–3 across cloud, IT, supply chain, and products. Closest functional analogue to Verdikt's Corporate IT offering in terms of enterprise sales motion and recurring SaaS model, with a stronger US footprint and broader scope.
• Greenly: French carbon accounting SaaS targeting mid-market and enterprise, with CSRD-ready functionality and a strong French/European GTM. Comparable to Verdikt in geography, customer base (mid-market + large enterprise), and subscription model; overlaps on Corporate IT footprint use cases.

Emerging players

• Carbony: Earlier-stage carbon accounting platform with a French base. Less mature but directly comparable in geography and SME-to-mid-market positioning; partial overlap with Verdikt's Corporate IT offering.
