PractiGREEN

What PractiGREEN does

PractiGREEN (legal name SAS PRACTIGREEN) is a French environmental engineering and CSR (RSE) consulting firm founded in 2021 and headquartered in Talence, near Bordeaux in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region. The company was established by three PhD holders in environmental science — Pierre Véquaud (President), Louis Rouyer-Denimal (R&D Director), and Raphaël Guttières (Scientific Coordinator, trained in ecology and biogeochemistry at Sorbonne Université) — and operates as a small, founder-led professional services firm (1–10 employees, share capital €1,000, no external investors). Its service portfolio is organized around four pillars: regulatory compliance (RSE strategy, Bilan Carbone, life cycle analysis, Tertiary/BACS decrees), enterprise valorization (RSE labeling, vulnerability diagnostics, energy optimization), environmental engineering (renewable energy, water recovery, biodiversity and greening), and territorial resilience diagnostics. Specialized offerings include photovoltaic feasibility studies (29 kWc to 1,000 kWc), carbon footprint assessments, ecological management plans, urban micro-forests, green roofs, biodiversity impact studies, ISO 26000 audits, training programs, and conferences. The underlying methodology stack spans BEGES, Bilan Carbone (Association pour la transition Bas Carbone), GHG Protocol, ISO 26000, ACV/Life Cycle Assessment, and SIG/QGIS cartography.

The firm pursues a sales-led go-to-market through direct engagement by the founding team, beginning with a free initial consultation followed by quote-based project delivery. It targets enterprises (including Hammerson, Château Palmer, Sophia Genetics, BEAM, DSM, Centre Jean Bernard, Precitol), local governments (Ville de Talence), BTP/real estate developers, the viticulture sector, and the events sector, with all activity currently scoped to the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region. A close partnership with Universcience (Cité des Sciences et de l'Industrie) integrates cultural mediation into territorial resilience work. The firm also operates the IMPACTS applied research program, designed to gather scientific data on SME RSE implementation barriers. Marketing is content-led through a website blog, case studies, LinkedIn presence, and client reference logos. No SaaS platform, API, or software product is offered — the entire revenue model rests on professional services engagements.
