KOREIS, Conseil & Recherche en impact social

What KOREIS, Conseil & Recherche en impact social does

KOREIS (legal entity Koreis Conseil, SARL) is a Paris-based consulting and research firm founded in 2019 by Adrien Baudet (Ph.D.), specializing in social impact evaluation and social innovation support for the French Économie Sociale et Solidaire (ESS). The firm is positioned at the intersection of academic research and consulting practice, deploying qualitative, quantitative, and mixed-method social science approaches to help organizations describe, explain, and demonstrate the effects of their activities on stakeholders.

The service portfolio is organized into five lines: (1) impact studies and measurement (Études et mesure d'impact social), (2) impact monitoring and management systems including dashboards and result-star frameworks, (3) monetization of impacts via Cost Avoided Studies, SROI, and Cost-Benefit Analyses (ACB), (4) embedded research (Recherche embarquée) that integrates academic methodologies — including CIFRE PhD partnerships — directly into client organizations, and (5) impact evaluation training programs. Methodological depth is reinforced by an external network of academic researchers and partner experts across themes such as health, employment, culture, and impact finance.

Commercially, KOREIS operates a project-based consulting engagement model with quote-driven pricing sold directly to social enterprises, associations, foundations, NGOs, impact investment funds, and mission-driven companies in France. The firm has no external equity funding, is structured as an SARL with €10,000 of capital, and is run by a team of approximately 13 people. Distribution relies on thought-leadership content, academic teaching at HEC Paris and ESCP Business School, and active contributions to Social Value France, Convergences, and Société Française d'Évaluation, with no other geographic markets served outside France.
