Ecolosport

What Ecolosport does

Ecolosport (legal entity ECOLOSPORT MEDIA & AGENCE) is a privately-held SAS de l'ESS (Social and Solidarity Economy company) headquartered in Toulouse, France, operating as a French-language media platform dedicated to the intersection of sport and ecological sustainability. Founded in 2020/2021 by Michaël Ferrisi (Director of Publication), the company operates with a team of 5 employees and runs ecolosport.fr as its central hub, distributing editorial content across multiple sports (football, rugby, cycling, running, sailing, outdoor, winter, racket, combat, motorsports). Content products include the Inspire documentary series, Académie educational platform, podcasts (including Vent Debout on Spotify), videos, a biweekly newsletter, free downloadable awareness posters, and the Emploi Sport & RSE job board. Coverage is paralleled by a B2B services arm, Ecolosport Agence, which delivers consulting, communication, and training services to sports federations, professional clubs, and local governments on ecological transition and RSE strategy.

The underlying technology is a standard digital media stack (WordPress-based website hosted via PlanetHoster in Quebec) with no proprietary AI/ML components, APIs, or SDKs. The business model combines free ad-supported content distribution (advertising and sponsorship potential) with custom-quoted professional services revenue from Ecolosport Agence, supplemented by emerging monetization vectors (job board, training). Customer base is concentrated in France: named clients include the Fédération Française de Rugby (FFR), Grand Poitiers (intercommunal structure), and LOU Rugby (professional rugby club), with partnerships supporting ADEME and Institut du Sport Durable. The GTM motion is community-led and direct-to-consumer via owned digital channels, with B2B services delivered through direct sales to sports organizations and local governments.

Expansion highlights4 records

Others

• ADEME: France's ecological transition agency under the Ministry of Ecological Transition. Listed as an Ecolosport partner; comparable as a funder and reference body whose policies shape demand for sustainable sport consulting.

Direct peers

• Sport Positive: UK-based media and events platform covering sustainability in sport, including the Sport Positive Summit and weekly Sport Positive Weekly newsletter. Directly comparable as an English-language sustainable sport media/content brand focused on the same intersection Ecolosport covers in French.
• Common Goal: Global football-for-good collective working with professional players, clubs, and federations on social and environmental impact. Comparable as a connector between the football ecosystem and sustainability outcomes, operating in a similar strategic niche to Ecolosport's Agence services.
• Football for Future: UK non-profit media platform covering football and environmental sustainability through journalism, podcasts, and educational resources. Comparable as a niche sport-sustainability content and community platform serving sports organizations and engaged fans.
• Sport Value: French sport management consulting firm referenced in Ecolosport's Grand Poitiers partnership. Directly comparable as a French consultancy advising local governments and sports organizations on sustainable sport strategy, overlapping with Ecolosport Agence's service offering.
• Institut du Sport Durable: French association supporting sports organizations on ecological transition. Listed as an Ecolosport partner on the Grand Poitiers program and operates in the same niche of French sustainable sport advisory and capacity building.

Broad incumbents

• L'Équipe: France's leading generalist sports media brand. Comparable as a French sports content platform with vastly larger audience and resources; if it were to launch a sustainability vertical, it would represent the most likely disruption to Ecolosport's niche.
• Deloitte Sport: Global consulting practice advising sports organizations on strategy, sustainability, and ESG. Comparable as a large-scale incumbent that could compete for the same B2B sustainability consulting mandates Ecolosport Agence targets.
• So Foot: French independent football culture magazine and media outlet. Comparable as a French independent sport media brand covering football with editorial depth, though not specifically focused on ecology.

Regional players

• BASIS (British Association for Sustainable Sport): UK-based non-profit promoting sustainability in the sports sector through research, advocacy, and an annual conference. Comparable as a sector-advocate organization for sustainable sport but operating primarily in the UK rather than France.
