What Vetted does

Vetted was a French B2B e-procurement platform focused on sustainable and responsible sourcing, headquartered in Meyreuil, France. Founded in 2021, the company built a two-sided marketplace (marketplace.vetted.fr) connecting approximately 400 buyer companies and public bodies with vetted sustainable suppliers, organized into curated purchasing categories. The core platform enabled suppliers to self-register as vendors and buyers to source products and services aligned with ESG and sustainability criteria, spanning categories relevant to all business functions.

The technology stack centered on a standard digital marketplace architecture with curated supplier listings; the company did not disclose proprietary AI/ML components, APIs, or integrations. Adjacent to the marketplace, Vetted offered three expert-led service modules — procurement support, green value chain advisory, and sustainability performance consulting — sold alongside platform access. The company also operated a content ecosystem including the 'Systemic' monthly podcast on Spotify, the Vettedico procurement glossary, sustainable supplier and responsible purchasing guides, and the 'Green Voices' expert interview series.

The business model combined marketplace commission revenue with annual subscriptions for enterprise and public-sector clients on a quote-based pricing structure. Distribution was hybrid: self-serve marketplace onboarding for SMBs and suppliers, paired with direct enterprise sales for larger accounts and public bodies in France. No funding rounds, revenue figures, or named enterprise customers were disclosed. After approximately five years of operation, Vetted announced the closure of its business on both the French and English versions of its website, thanking customers and suppliers for the partnership.
