Global and Local competitors and assessment
Company assessmentDirect peers
- IdéalCO (now part of Docaposte / La Poste Group): French digital community and training platform serving local elected officials and territorial administrators with content, webinars, and e-learning on public policy topics including sustainability. Highly comparable to Global & Local's formation and information-publishing model, but at greater scale, with modern digital tooling replacing WordPress-based delivery.
- Comité 21 (Comité Français pour le Développement Durable): French national committee for sustainable development and co-founder with Global & Local of the Rubans du développement durable label. Operates as a non-profit network providing sustainability guidance, training, and recognition to French territorial authorities—directly overlapping Global & Local's core mission and customer base of local municipalities.
- Sustainable Jersey: US-based certification and support programme for municipalities pursuing sustainability actions, offering training, toolkits, and a recognition programme for local authorities. Closely mirrors the Global & Local / Rubans du développement durable model of rewarding and training municipalities on sustainable development implementation.
- Cap Territoires / Cap Terre: French consultancy specialised in advising local authorities and territorial actors on sustainable development strategies, Agenda 21, and climate plans. Directly competes with Global & Local for paid municipal advisory and training engagements on the same subject matter.
- ICLEI (Local Governments for Sustainability): International network of local and regional governments committed to sustainable development, providing capacity-building, training, and recognition programmes. Directly mirrors Global & Local's local-authority sustainability training and information mission, but at global scale with member-driven governance.
Broad incumbents
- ADEME (Agence de la transition écologique): France's national ecological transition agency, which funds and publishes sustainability guidance, training programmes, and diagnostic tools for local governments. While vastly larger and broader in scope, ADEME directly competes with Global & Local for the agenda-setting role on French municipal sustainable development.
- CNFPT (Centre National de la Fonction Publique Territoriale): Official French national training institution for local civil servants and elected officials, offering mandatory and continuing education including sustainability and public policy programmes. Directly comparable as a training provider to Global & Local's formations groupées for local elected officials, but operating at national scale with statutory authority.
Others
- Association des Maires de France (AMF): Strategic partner of Global & Local and the central membership association for French mayors, providing training, representation, and information services to municipal elected officials. Comparable as an ecosystem enabler that could substitute or amplify Global & Local's information-publishing role for the same elected-official audience.
