Revenue model

1. Customized Training Sessions (Intra): The group organizes exclusively intra-company training sessions — groups within the same organization at the organization's request — for equality, anti-discrimination, and sexual violence prevention topics.
2. Inter-company Training (AFDAS): Inter-company training sessions open to individual registration, exclusively organized for individuals covered by AFDAS (a French professional training fund), with potential for full cost coverage.
3. Consulting and Advisory Services: 360° consulting services covering diagnostics, audits, action plans, equality labeling support (AFNOR), internal referral network structuring, crisis management, and internal investigation support for public and private employers.
4. Listening and Reporting Device (Dispositif d'écoute): Externalized reporting and listening device management for employers, including signalement interviews, synthesis notes, and tracking dashboards for violence and discrimination cases.
5. Media Partnership Financing (expertes.fr): The expertes.fr platform is financed through contributions from 14+ media groups (France Télévisions, Radio France, Le Monde, TF1, etc.) and the French Ministry of Culture, rather than direct user revenue.

Scale indicators4 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Orsys: Major French professional training firm with an extensive intra-company catalog including HR, management and compliance topics. Comparable channel (intra-company training to enterprises) and buyer overlap with Groupe Egaé, though much broader in scope.
• CSP Formation: Long-established French corporate training company with intra-company delivery, Qualiopi certification and HR/compliance catalog. Comparable go-to-market (direct enterprise sales of intra-company training) though broader and larger than Groupe Egaé.
• Cegos: One of the largest corporate training providers in France and globally, with established DEI and harassment-prevention modules. Comparable to Groupe Egaé as an intra-company training competitor, but operates at vastly greater scale and as part of a much wider L&D catalog rather than specializing in equality.

Emerging players

• Talenthéa: French DEI consulting firm providing diagnostics, training and inclusion programs to corporate clients. Direct overlap with Groupe Egaé's equality/diversity advisory and training offering, but at a smaller, more emerging scale.

Direct peers

• AFMD (Association Française des Managers de la Diversité): French professional association of diversity managers offering diagnostic tools, benchmarks, training, and a DEI label for member companies. Overlaps with Groupe Egaé's equality diagnostics, labeling support (AFNOR) and corporate training practice.
• Pluralisme Conseil: French consulting firm specializing in diversity, equality and non-discrimination policy support for employers and public bodies. Direct comparability with Groupe Egaé's 360° consulting practice serving HR departments and public administrations.
• L'Autre Cercle: French non-profit association promoting LGBT+ inclusion in the workplace, offering diagnostic tools, charters, and training to employers. Direct overlap with Groupe Egaé's anti-discrimination and inclusion consulting/training offering.
• IMS - Entreprendre pour la Cité: French network/consulting organization helping companies structure diversity, inclusion and equality programs. Closely comparable mission and target buyer (HR/corporate responsibility leaders) to Groupe Egaé's consulting and training practice.

Others

• Haut Conseil à l'Égalité entre les femmes et les hommes (HCE): Independent French consultative body producing the annual report on the state of professional equality and gender-based violence. Ecosystem participant that shapes the regulatory and discourse framework within which Groupe Egaé's training and consulting operate.
• Défenseur des droits: French independent constitutional authority producing barometers, guidelines and recommendations on discrimination, harassment and equality — the framework to which Groupe Egaé explicitly anchors its internal investigation methodology. An institutional reference rather than a commercial competitor.
