What O2m does

O2M Groupe SAS is a French sustainability consulting and training firm founded in 2008 and headquartered in Rennes, with additional offices in Angers, Bordeaux, and Caen. The firm advises mid-to-large organizations on carbon accounting (Bilan Carbone, BEGES-r, ACT evaluation, low-carbon trajectories), life cycle assessment and eco-design, RSE/CSRD strategy, and PLM-PIM product data centralization, with engagements typically structured as 4-to-20-day projects. O2M also operates two wholly-owned subsidiaries — O2m Lab (R&D and innovation, housing proprietary digital platforms) and O2m Academia (Qualiopi-certified training) — and runs proprietary SaaS platforms Farmtérix (agricultural LCA co-developed with INRAE), Castanea (organizational carbon footprint measurement), KOMPACT (agri-food eco-design with Keendoo), and RSE Référentiels (CSR framework tools).

The firm employs approximately 30 people, of whom 70% are engineers, PhDs, and consultants, and generates revenue from three streams: professional services consulting, subscription-based SaaS platform access, and certified training delivery. Go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales augmented by channel partnerships, including approved-provider status for Leclerc purchasing centers and FRET21/EVE for logistics. The client base spans ~40+ named French enterprises across agri-food (Agrial, Cooperl, Eurial, Jean Hénaff, Sarafruits, Agrial, Tipiak), retail (Auchan, Leclerc), logistics (La Poste, Brittany Ferries), technology (OneFirst), and services (GESEC, Arkéa). O2M is privately held, founder-led by Olivier Messager, structured as a SAS with €365,200 in stated social capital, and operates without disclosed external funding.

Direct peers

• Persefoni: US-based climate management and accounting platform for enterprises and financial institutions. Directly comparable to O2M's Castanea as an enterprise-grade carbon accounting SaaS, though with stronger financial-sector positioning.
• Sweep: French-founded carbon and ESG data management platform enabling enterprises to centralize emissions data across Scope 1–3 and CSRD-aligned reporting. Competes with O2M's Castanea for the data-platform layer of enterprise decarbonization.
• Carbone 4: French climate consulting firm specializing in carbon strategy, Bilan Carbone, ACT evaluation, and SBTi-aligned trajectories. Closest French consulting peer to O2M, with overlapping service lines in carbon assessment and low-carbon strategy for enterprises.
• Utopies: Paris-based independent consultancy specializing in CSR/RSE strategy, sustainable development, and ESG reporting. Directly comparable to O2M's RSE/CSRD advisory and reporting services for French enterprise and public-sector clients.
• Greenly: Paris-based carbon accounting SaaS platform serving SMEs and enterprises with automated Scope 1–3 measurement and CSRD reporting. Directly comparable to O2M's Castanea and carbon consulting offerings, though focused on a SaaS-led model rather than consulting-plus-platform hybrid.
• EcoAct: France-based (now part of ENGIE Impact) carbon strategy and climate consulting firm providing Bilan Carbone, SBTi target setting, and net-zero advisory. Directly comparable consulting peer operating in the same French and European enterprise market.
• I Care & Consult: French environmental and climate consultancy covering LCA, eco-design, carbon footprinting, and sustainability strategy. Directly comparable to O2M's LCA/eco-design and Bilan Carbone services across French industrial and agri-food clients.

• BL Evolution: French consultancy specialized in sustainable procurement, supply chain RSE, and environmental assessment for retailers and consumer goods companies. Comparable to O2M's Scope 3 and supply chain sustainability work in the French retail/agri-food space.

Broad incumbents

Broader incumbent peer to O2M's consulting practice, with overlapping enterprise climate advisory but operating at significantly larger scale and global reach.
