CONSULTANT SEAS

What CONSULTANT SEAS does

ConsultantSeas is a French consulting firm headquartered in Brest, France, founded in October 2017 by Marie Le Texier as a single-member limited liability company (SARL unipersonnelle) with €15,000 in capital. The firm specializes in plastic-pollution reduction advisory, serving organizations across four core verticals — cosmetics, agri-food, tourism and hospitality, and retail — alongside NGOs and public-sector clients. Its core methodology is a proprietary five-step engagement model (Evaluate, Prioritize, Target, Act, Follow) that structures client work from baseline plastic-flow audits through strategy definition, project coordination, and follow-up. Complementary offerings include branded awareness workshops (notably Fresque des solutions), training programs, and dedicated project-management support for plastic-reuse and reduction initiatives.

The firm's business model is professional-services consulting: revenue is generated through bespoke audits, multi-month strategic roadmaps, project coordination retainers, workshops, and training engagements. Geographic activity is anchored in Brittany and extended across the Mediterranean into Tunisia, Morocco, and Lebanon, often in partnership with NGOs, scientific partners (notably ENSAM and Plastic Odyssey), and public funders including FFEM. ConsultantSeas employs a multidisciplinary team of approximately 10–11 people with engineering, Sciences Po, and sustainable-development expertise, and is institutionally embedded in French and Mediterranean plastic-pollution ecosystems, including as co-constructor of the BeMed Collège d'Entreprises (2021), a member of Village by CA Finistère since April 2023, and a member of Campus Mondial de la Mer since April 2025. Named private-sector clients referenced in the firm's material include InterContinental Marseille, Haribo, Auchan, Carrefour, Casino, Phytomer, and Groupe Jean Hénaff. The firm has also productized parts of its offering, including an 'Offre PME' standardized SME package and a free online self-diagnostic funnel, while pursuing 2030 ambitions of training personnel at 1,000 SMEs.
