EVINERUDE

What EVINERUDE does

Evinerude is a privately held French environmental consulting firm (bureau d'études environnement) founded in May 2006 in Vienne (38) by Muriel BOTTON and Grégory Agnello-Casali, and now headquartered in Saint-Quentin Fallavier near Lyon. The firm employs approximately 32 specialized ecologists, GIS analysts, and drone pilots across five regional offices (Lyon HQ, Paris/Lognes, Bordeaux/Mérignac, Laval/Changé, Nancy/Ludres), providing nationwide coverage of the French market.

The company's offering is organized around four service lines: (1) environmental and regulatory studies, including impact assessments, Natura 2000 incidence evaluations, protected species derogation dossiers, deforestation files, and Water Law submissions; (2) environmental monitoring during construction, ecological operations, and renewable-energy installations; (3) management and restoration of natural environments, including invasive species control, wetland management, and compensatory measures for sensitive natural areas (ENS), Natura 2000 sites, and reserves; and (4) air quality analysis built on proprietary bio-indication methodologies — lichen biodiversity assessment under AFNOR protocols, bio-accumulation sampling across multiple biological media (lichens, tobacco, raygrass, mosses), and particulate fallout characterization using in-house collection devices analyzed by MEB-EDX microscopy. These are delivered through a direct, sales-led engagement model with project-based professional services contracts.

Customers span territorial collectivities, industrial operators (water/waste — Veolia, SMITOM, VALUBIA, SIG Genève; energy — Akuo Energy; mining — Tata Steel Minerals Canada; real estate — NEINVER), government agencies (DREAL Rhône-Alpes, EPA Alzette-Belval, SERL, Métropole Grenoble Alpes), and other consulting firms. Revenue is generated through customized project quotes rather than disclosed unit pricing. Ownership rests with three partners as of 2024 — Présidente Muriel BOTTON, Directeur Général Sylvain ALLARD, and DAF/DRH Karine WAUCQUIER — with no institutional or venture investment identified.

Direct peers

• Auddicé: French ecological and biodiversity consultancy providing environmental studies, Natura 2000 assessments, ecological monitoring and natural-area management; directly comparable mid-market player serving territorial collectivities and industry.
• Calidris Environnement: Independent French environmental consultancy offering ecological inventories, regulatory environmental studies and biodiversity monitoring for developers and local authorities; near-identical service mix and customer base to Evinerude at a similar headcount.
• Biotope: France's leading independent ecological consultancy, founded in 1993, delivering environmental impact studies, Natura 2000 dossiers, biodiversity inventories and natural-area management; closest direct comparator to Evinerude across service lines, customers (collectivités, industry, associations) and bio-indication methodology.
• Naturalia Environnement: French ecological bureau d'études specialised in flora, fauna and habitat inventories, environmental impact assessments and Natura 2000 studies; comparable mid-size niche player with public-sector and infrastructure clients in southern/central France.
• ECOSPHERES: French ecological bureau d'études focused on fauna/flora inventories, environmental impact studies and Natura 2000 expertise for local authorities and developers; a direct competitor in the same ecological consulting niche.

Broad incumbents

• Artelia Group: International engineering, project management and consultancy group with an "Environment & Biodiversity" practice offering impact studies, natural-area management and water/environmental permitting; a much larger incumbent competing for the same type of customer projects.
• Ginger BURGEAP: French environmental engineering consultancy (part of Ginger Group) providing environmental impact studies, site/pollution assessments and ecological expertise to industry and public-sector clients; a broader-scope incumbent bidding into adjacent regulatory study mandates.
• Ingérop Group: Large French engineering consultancy with an environmental studies and natural-habitats practice that bids on infrastructure and energy projects; broader portfolio than Evinerude but overlaps on ecological impact studies and regulatory dossiers.
• Bureau Veritas: Global testing, inspection and certification group with an environmental and ESG services line covering air-quality monitoring (including biological indicators), site assessments and biodiversity studies; competes for industrial air-quality mandates but operates across many other verticals.
• Egis Group: Major French engineering group with an established environment and ecology practice delivering impact studies, environmental monitoring and biodiversity services as part of broader infrastructure projects; competes with Evinerude on large tenders but is several orders of magnitude larger.
