Entreprises engagées

What Entreprises engagées does

Entreprises engagées is a privately held French consulting firm (SAS) headquartered at 6 rue d'Armaillé in the 17th arrondissement of Paris, founded in 2018 by Fatima Zaraba and Alexis Godinot and operating commercially since 2020. The firm delivers corporate social responsibility (RSE) advisory services to French small and medium enterprises, mid-sized firms (ETI), and large corporate groups. Its service portfolio is anchored by EcoVadis evaluation support (the firm's flagship and highest-volume offering, spanning Bronze through Platinum medal targets), CSRD compliance and sustainability reporting, Bilan Carbone / BEGES carbon footprint assessments, SBTi alignment, Société à Mission status acquisition under the 2019 PACTE law, bespoke RSE strategy design, B Corp certification, and collective-intelligence training workshops. The firm is self-described as the first official EcoVadis partner in France and additionally maintains a flagship partnership with Bpifrance, France's public investment bank.

The underlying technology stack is a pure-play consulting model: no proprietary software platform, no APIs, no SDKs, and no machine-learning components are documented. Delivery is built on practitioner expertise in the EcoVadis methodology, ESRS standards under CSRD, SBTi target-setting frameworks, BEGES carbon accounting, and B Impact Assessment scoring. Supporting digital channels include a free online RSE self-diagnostic tool, the YouTube podcast series 'Une Entreprise Engagée', white papers, webinars, and a LinkedIn presence of 65,000+ followers used primarily as top-of-funnel demand generation.

The business model is sales-led professional services delivered through direct outreach, the firm's website contact form, and phone-based discovery calls. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and follows a contact-based quotation model with bespoke engagement scoping. Revenue derives entirely from project-based consulting mandates, with no subscription, licensing, or transactional revenue streams. The firm holds no external investment, has no parent company, no subsidiaries, and no recorded funding rounds; registered SAS capital is €10,000. As of June 2025 the firm itself holds an EcoVadis Platinum medal, placing it in the top 1% of all rated companies globally.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Emerging players

• Sweep: ESG and carbon management SaaS platform used by enterprises for sustainability data and CSRD reporting. Adjacent competitor because it bundles software-enabled services that can substitute for traditional RSE consulting hours.
• Carbo: France-based carbon footprint platform offering automated Bilan Carbone, SBTi support, and CSRD tooling. Overlaps with Entreprises engagées' carbon and CSRD services but delivers via SaaS rather than pure consulting.
• Greenly: Carbon accounting and ESG platform with a French origin, competing in carbon footprint assessments and climate strategy advisory. Comparable to Entreprises engagées' Bilan Carbone and SBTi offerings, particularly for SMEs.

Direct peers

• BeCitizen: French RSE/CSR consulting boutique specializing in ESG strategy, CSRD, B Corp, and Société à Mission support. Highly comparable service portfolio and target customer base (PME/ETI in France) make it a direct competitor for similar engagements.
• Des Enjeux et des Hommes: French consultancy focused on CSR, sustainable development, and responsible purchasing. Comparable in service scope (RSE strategy, reporting, training) and SME/ETI client focus, making it a direct domestic peer.
• Utopies: One of France's pioneering sustainable development and CSR consulting firms. Directly comparable to Entreprises engagées in offering RSE strategy, ESG reporting, and sustainability advisory to French corporates, with overlapping service lines in CSRD and materiality analysis.

Broad incumbents

• EcoAct (Accenture): Climate and carbon consultancy now part of Accenture, offering carbon footprint, SBTi, and ESG advisory. Comparable in carbon and climate advisory services but operates at much larger scale and serves large enterprise clients globally.
• BDO France (Sustainability): Global audit and consulting network with a French RSE/CSRD practice serving ETIs and large groups. Competes on CSRD reporting, double materiality, and ESG assurance at a scale Entreprises engagées cannot match.
• PKF Arsilon (Sustainability practice): Mid-tier French audit and advisory firm with a CSRD and sustainability practice. Competes for ETI and large corporate CSRD mandates where integrated audit-advisory offerings appeal to procurement teams.

Others

• EcoVadis: The ratings platform itself, with which Entreprises engagées holds official partner status. Listed as OTHERS rather than competitor because the firm sells services around EcoVadis rather than competing with it; however, any shift in EcoVadis's partner program would directly affect the firm's pipeline.
