BIODIV'CORP

What BIODIV'CORP does

BIODIV'CORP is a Paris-based biodiversity consulting firm established in 2019 by Véronique Dham, who previously founded Gondwana in 2005, recognized as the first biodiversity consulting company in France. The firm operates as a SASU (Société par Actions Simplifiée Unipersonnelle) with a registered share capital of €1,500, headquartered at 127 bis rue du Chemin vert, 75011 Paris. It targets large enterprises, corporate groups, industrial sites, commercial buildings, and development operations, helping them understand, measure, and reduce their dependencies and impacts on biodiversity. The founder is a member of the French IPBES expert group since 2012 and has accompanied more than 40 French and international corporate groups across her career.

The company delivers three interconnected service lines: (1) Corporate Biodiversity Consulting, including footprint assessment using the Global Biodiversity Score (GBS) methodology certified by CDC Biodiversité, strategy definition, roadmap construction, and reporting indicators; (2) AMO (Assistance à Maîtrise d'Ouvrage) Biodiversity for sites, industrial facilities, and development projects, covering ecological context studies, action plans across design, construction, and operation phases, and ecological monitoring; and (3) Training and Awareness programs delivered through in-person, e-learning, and blended formats for operational teams, executive seminars, and employee workshops. The firm does not develop a software platform; its core value lies in advisory expertise, change management methodologies, and collective intelligence facilitation, with the GBS assessor-consultant certification of the founder providing a proprietary-measurement credential.

BIODIV'CORP operates a sales-led, consulting-engagement business model. Revenue is generated through bespoke, quote-based professional services billed per engagement, with no public pricing, no self-serve channel, and no marketplace. Customer acquisition relies on direct outreach via the company website, content marketing (a regularly updated blog categorized into Points de vue, News de la biodiversité, Solutions, and Événements), LinkedIn, public speaking and webinars, and earned media coverage. The firm has 1-10 employees and remains founder-led without disclosed institutional investment or parent company. Notable partnerships include co-hosted webinars with ekodev and PUR Projet in February 2021, and the founder's co-founding affiliation with Bleu Blanc Ruche Biodiversité.

Expansion highlights3 records

Direct peers

• Ekodev: Ekodev is a French sustainability and CSR consulting firm that co-hosts webinars with BIODIV'CORP and serves enterprise clients on sustainability strategy and reporting. It is an existing partner and direct peer competing for similar French enterprise CSR/biodiversity mandates at comparable boutique scale.
• Biotope: Biotope is a French biodiversity and ecological consultancy specializing in fauna/flora inventories, ecological impact studies, and biodiversity strategies for developers and public actors. It is the closest direct peer to BIODIV'CORP, operating in the same French market with overlapping services around ecological baseline studies, site AMO, and biodiversity advisory — though with a larger ecological-engineering delivery footprint.
• UTOPIES: UTOPIES is a French sustainability strategy and CSR consulting firm advising large companies on environmental and social transformation, including biodiversity integration. It addresses a similar enterprise buyer around sustainability roadmaps, but with a wider portfolio beyond biodiversity.
• Greenflex: Greenflex is a French sustainability consulting firm offering strategy, transformation, and reporting services to enterprises, including climate, biodiversity, and circular economy. It competes directly with BIODIV'CORP for corporate biodiversity mandates, but operates as a broader sustainability generalist rather than a biodiversity pure-play.
• Des Enjeux et des Hommes: Des Enjeux et des Hommes is a French independent CSR and sustainability consultancy helping companies define and deploy environmental and social strategies. It targets the same French enterprise customer base seeking biodiversity and CSR advisory, and is comparable in scale and boutique positioning.

Broad incumbents

• WSP: WSP is a global engineering and professional services firm with a sizeable environment and biodiversity practice (incorporating the former Wood Environment & Infrastructure). It competes for large enterprise and infrastructure biodiversity mandates, offering scale and global delivery as a broad incumbent.
• ERM (Environmental Resources Management): ERM is a global environmental, health, safety, and sustainability consulting firm with a substantial biodiversity and natural capital practice. It represents a broad incumbent competing for enterprise biodiversity mandates, with the scale and global delivery capacity that BIODIV'CORP lacks.

Emerging players

• PUR Projet: PUR Projet is a French social enterprise designing and implementing regenerative agriculture and biodiversity projects in supply chains. As an existing webinar partner with BIODIV'CORP, it represents the on-the-ground delivery side of corporate biodiversity regeneration — an adjacent player in the same ecosystem, not a direct consulting competitor.
• Carbone 4: Carbone 4 is a French climate and sustainability consultancy that has expanded into broader corporate sustainability strategy. It is an emerging player in biodiversity advisory as enterprises seek integrated climate-nature strategies, and competes for the same French enterprise buyers — though its core identity remains climate-centric.
• CDC Biodiversité: CDC Biodiversité is a French subsidiary of Caisse des Dépôts focused on biodiversity conservation finance, biodiversity offsets, and developer of the Global Biodiversity Score (GBS) framework — the methodology BIODIV'CORP uses and is certified to assess. It is an ecosystem enabler/partner rather than direct competitor, but shapes the same enterprise biodiversity market.
