Impaccct

What Impaccct does

Impaccct (legal entity SAS Impaccct) is a French RSE/CSR audit and advisory boutique headquartered in Rennes with a secondary office in Paris, operating as part of Groupe Maintenant!. Founded in 2021, the firm obtained COFRAC accreditation as an Organisme Tiers Indépendant (OTI) under number 3-1945 in March 2023, making it legally eligible to perform independent third-party audits for French 'société à mission' companies under the PACTE law and for Déclarations de Performance Extra-Financière (DPEF) under the Code de Commerce. It enforces a firewall policy under which it does not audit clients it has advised within the prior three years, preserving impartiality.

The firm's offering is organized around five service pillars: Audit Société à Mission, Audit DPEF, Bilan Carbone (carbon footprint assessment), Conseil Indicateurs Extra-Financiers and Conseil CSRD (advisory on ESG indicator selection and CSRD/ESRS preparation), and a 3-day Formation Reporting Extra-Financier training program. It complements these with content resources — five themed databases of approximately 150 ESG indicators (environment, social, economic, governance, territorial), webinar replays gated behind lead capture, and a white paper on drafting mission reports. There is no proprietary software product; the core deliverable is expert human verification and consulting.

Impaccct generates revenue through professional-services engagements. OTI audits are billed at €1,000–€1,500 HT per day with typical engagements of 3–10 days depending on company size and assurance level (e.g., a small mission-company audit of ~4 days is estimated at €4,000–€6,000 HT). Advisory, CSRD preparation, and carbon assessments are quoted per engagement, while training is sold as a 3-day program. The go-to-market is sales-led and content-driven: prospective clients discover the firm via organic SEO across 11+ French city pages, gated webinars, and downloadable indicator bases, then initiate contact through the website for tailored proposals. The firm targets mission-driven companies (all sizes), DPEF-obligated large enterprises, voluntary PME/ETI RSE adopters, and finance/RSE professionals seeking training. With ~6 employees and €10,000 in share capital, Impaccct is a lean, bootstrapped boutique scaling into the CSRD-driven demand wave rather than a venture-backed scale-up.

Functional benefit

Products and services

• Audit Société à Mission Independent third-party audit by a COFRAC-accredited OTI of French companies that have adopted the société à mission status under the PACTE law, verifying the coherence between the company's stated mission, RSE objectives, and actual actions. A strict three-year cooling-off period prevents Impaccct from auditing a client it has previously advised.
• Audit DPEF (Déclaration de Performance Extra-Financière) Annual statutory third-party audit of the Déclaration de Performance Extra-Financière (DPEF) for French companies and listed entities meeting the legal thresholds (revenue > €100M, balance sheet > €100M, 500+ employees, with lower thresholds for listed firms). Delivers a formal OTI opinion (favorable, favorable with observations, with comments, or inability to conclude).
• Bilan Carbone (Carbon Footprint Assessment) Carbon footprint assessment service that inventories a company's greenhouse gas emissions and identifies reduction actions to lower the company's CO2 impact, forming a baseline for environmental strategy and CSRD preparation.
• Conseil Indicateurs Extra-Financiers Advisory engagement helping companies define and select the most relevant ESG extra-financial indicators, design extra-financial reporting frameworks, and apply triple-capital accounting methodologies to measure the effectiveness of their RSE strategy.
• Conseil CSRD Advisory service guiding companies through preparation for the European Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), including materiality matrix design, ESRS alignment, and integration of sustainability into the business model.
• Formation Reporting Extra-Financier Three-day training program covering extra-financial reporting regulations, ESG indicators, carbon footprint methodology, and reporting best practices, targeted at RSE managers, CFOs (DAFs), financial controllers (RAFs), controlling staff, and chartered accountants to enable autonomous production of voluntary or mandatory extra-financial reports.

Direct peers

• AFNOR Certification: AFNOR Certification is a major French COFRAC-accredited body offering ISO and extra-financial audits including RSE/DPEF. Directly competes with Impaccct in OTI mandates for mission companies and ESG verifications, with similar pricing and methodology positioning.

Adjacent to Impaccct's mission of independent RSE verification, though its model is rating/data-driven rather than statutory OTI assurance.
