Anne Bourdais Conseil

What Anne Bourdais Conseil does

Anne Bourdais Conseil is a solo French consulting practice, structured as a SARL (Société à Responsabilité Limitée) and operated by founder Anne Bourdais from Saint-Erblon near Rennes, France. The firm delivers consulting, auditing, and training services in quality management (QSE — Quality, Safety, Environment), and corporate social responsibility (RSE / CSR), with formal expertise across three reference frameworks: ISO 9001 (quality management systems), ISO 26000 (social responsibility), and ISO 20121 (responsible event management). Anne Bourdais personally holds three ICA certifications from AFNOR — Quality Auditor (No. 3000495), RSE Evaluator, and ISO 20121 Auditor — which authorize the firm to conduct certification audits and RSE evaluations for third-party clients.

The service portfolio spans four interlocking offerings: (1) consulting on quality management system deployment and ISO 9001 preparation, (2) consulting on RSE strategy and preparation for French labels such as Engagé-RSE and Label Lucie, (3) audits and diagnostics covering ISO 9001 certification, ISO 20121 events, HQS/QualiHLM social housing, and RSE evaluations, and (4) customized training programs on quality, QSE, and RSE topics. The firm also teaches in higher education institutions (universities and business schools) in management, quality, QSE, and RSE. Pricing is fully quote-based and non-public; client engagement is direct and personalized.

The business is essentially a one-person practice serving small-to-medium enterprises, cooperatives, and select mid-market and enterprise clients (notably social housing organizations HLM) primarily in the Bretagne and Grand Ouest regions of Western France. Customer acquisition relies on professional network referrals, direct outreach, and teaching-led lead generation. There is no external investment, no parent company, no subsidiaries, and disclosed revenue is not available.

Broad incumbents

• Apave: Apave is a major French TIC and consulting group offering ISO consulting, QSE advisory, and training services to mid-market and enterprise clients.
