Rever Consulting

What Rever Consulting does

Rever Consulting (legal name REVER CONSULTORIA LTDA., CNPJ 05.349.297/0001-19) is a privately held Brazilian sustainability and ESG consultancy headquartered in São Paulo, with a registered office in Osasco, founded in 2005. The firm operates as a boutique professional services practice serving large enterprises, third-sector organizations, and investment funds across Brazil and internationally, with delivery coverage extending to Europe, Africa, and South America through its joint venture Utopies Brasil (formalized in 2017 with French consultancy Utopies, which contributes up to 100 additional consultants). The team is small (~13 listed on the About page, 11–50 total), led by co-founders Cyrille and Joseph alongside equity partners Pablo (Director of Projects) and Guilherme (Head of Sustainable Chains), with functional heads for ESG (Carol) and Traceability (Natália). Rever is a certified B Corporation since 2018 and has committed to carbon neutrality by 2025 including compensation of 100% of historical emissions.

The firm's offering is organized around three core pillars: ESG Strategy and Engagement (materiality assessments aligned with GRI, SASB, IFRS, and CSRD double materiality), Sustainable Supply Chains (human rights due diligence per UNGP/CSRDDD, supplier engagement, deforestation-free sourcing, and traceability), and Impact Management (quantification of socioeconomic and environmental externalities). Specialized services cover climate strategy (GHG Protocol, SBTi, TCFD), biodiversity (SBTN, TNFD), B Corp certification support, and deforestation analysis for financial institutions. The technical foundation rests on proprietary impact measurement methodologies (Local FootPrint® for GDP/jobs/water/soil/GHG impact, Footprint Nature® for environmental footprinting) and the Além da Origem (Beyond Origin) traceability architecture developed since 2019. Rever integrates with Wholechain's blockchain-based traceability platform — the only platform approved by the Global Dialogue on Seafood Traceability and built on GS1 EPCIS — and co-developed the first Data Framework for Electronic Interoperable Traceability of Deforestation-Free Cattle Chains in Brazil with GS1 US in 2022. In March 2025, the firm contributed to the launch of the Global Traceability Framework for Beef & Leather through the Better Food Future initiative with WWF, Wholechain, and IFT.

Revenue is generated through project-based professional services fees with no public pricing; engagements are custom-quoted, typically structured as multi-year contracts, and sold exclusively through direct enterprise field sales (website contact form, phone +55 11 3285-6438, and partner/referral channels). Named enterprise clients span agribusiness (Amaggi, Marfrig, CJ Selecta, Ihara), banking (Itaú), automotive (Toyota), insurance (Sompo), energy (EDP Brasil), real estate (JHSF), retail and fashion (Tok&Stok, Alpargatas, Renner), healthcare and life sciences (Merck), games and toys (Grupo Cartamundi), railway logistics (Rumo), electrical solutions (Steck), quick-service restaurants (Arcos Dourados), and NGOs (WWF, IDH). The company has executed 200+ projects over more than 15 years and operates with no disclosed external funding or parent company ownership.
