What Lakaa does

Lakaa is a Paris-based SaaS company, founded in 2019 and operating as an SAS (simplified joint stock company), that sells a cloud-based platform purpose-built for multi-site enterprises to deploy, track, and valorize local CSR (RSE) actions across their distributed networks. The platform combines a curated action catalog, interactive site-mapping, photo and evidence documentation, ambassador network management, audit-ready reporting, and enterprise integrations (SSO and APIs), supported by a dedicated deployment team for rollout across large footprints.

The company's go-to-market is exclusively direct enterprise field sales, with pricing on annual quote-based subscriptions scaled to number of sites, user seats, and customization. Customers are predominantly large French enterprises with distributed networks — including Leroy Merlin (France and Portugal), Nespresso, Mondial Relay, Carmila, Groupe Elior, Generali, MAIF, Intersport, SNCF, Carrefour, Club Med, Ramsay Santé, Emeis, SOCODA, JOA, and Bureau Vallé — spanning retail, catering, real estate, insurance, healthcare, logistics, transportation, and gaming. Marketing relies on content (RSE guides, sector studies, annual Local Impact Barometer), community events (Rencontres RSE workshops), an annual award (PILE — Prix de l'Impact Local des Entreprises), webinars, and client video testimonials. Operations are concentrated in France with a first international expansion into Portugal in June 2024, alongside Leroy Merlin Portugal.

Broad incumbents

• Persefoni: Persefoni is an enterprise climate management and carbon accounting platform. Like Watershed it targets the same corporate sustainability buyer as Lakaa but operates at the emissions data layer rather than local action coordination.
• Workiva: Workiva is a public, established SaaS platform for CSRD, SEC and sustainability reporting. It competes for the same enterprise buyer mindshare around CSRD compliance and is a much broader incumbent that Lakaa's customers may also evaluate.
• Salesforce Net Zero Cloud: Salesforce Net Zero Cloud is an enterprise-grade carbon accounting and sustainability suite within the Salesforce ecosystem. It is a broad incumbent that competes for the same enterprise sustainability budget as Lakaa, with the advantage of native integration into the Salesforce CRM stack.
• Watershed: Watershed is a well-capitalized enterprise ESG data platform covering carbon accounting, reporting and reduction. It serves a similar buyer (large enterprises with sustainability mandates) but addresses the corporate reporting layer rather than multi-site grassroots CSR engagement.

Regional players

• Position Green: Position Green is a Nordic enterprise sustainability platform covering ESG reporting and CSRD compliance. It is comparable to Lakaa as a European ESG software vendor but serves primarily Nordic markets rather than France.

Direct peers

• Sweep: Sweep is a France-founded B2B SaaS platform for ESG and carbon management, serving enterprise customers across multiple sectors. It overlaps directly with Lakaa's CSR/ESG software positioning while operating at the corporate reporting and emissions layer rather than local site activation.
• Greenly: Greenly is a French carbon accounting and ESG SaaS serving mid-market and enterprise. Comparable to Lakaa as a French sustainability software vendor, though Greenly is focused on carbon measurement rather than multi-site local CSR activation.

Emerging players

• Plan A: Plan A is a Berlin-based ESG and carbon management SaaS for European enterprises. It is comparable to Lakaa as an early-stage European ESG software vendor serving large enterprise customers, though focused on decarbonization planning rather than multi-site activation.
• Net0: Net0 is a carbon management and decarbonization SaaS serving enterprises. It overlaps thematically with Lakaa's sustainability software positioning though it focuses on corporate emissions strategy rather than distributed local CSR actions.
• Coolset: Coolset is a Dutch ESG reporting and CSRD software vendor for mid-market and enterprise. It is comparable as a European ESG SaaS targeting similar sustainability buyers, overlapping with Lakaa on the corporate reporting and CSRD compliance workflow.
