What arktos conseil does

arktos conseil is a sole-practitioner RSE (Corporate Social Responsibility) consulting firm headquartered in Mérignac, in the Bordeaux metropolitan area of France. The firm is operated by founder Bertrand Auneau, a 30-year veteran of the BTP (Building and Public Works) and waste management sectors, and is certified by AFNOR as a "Responsable d'évaluation Responsabilité Sociétale ISO 26000:2010." arktos conseil delivers three integrated service lines: (1) Accompagnement Démarche Globale RSE, providing full-cycle RSE strategy development using a 5-step materiality matrix methodology aligned to ISO 26000; (2) Problématiques Sociales et Sociétales, focused on labor relations, manager support, health and safety, and conflict prevention; and (3) Gestion des Déchets, covering environmental impact analysis, waste audit, flux analysis, and ISO 14001-style environmental management. The underlying methodology emphasizes continuous improvement built on each client's existing practices rather than greenfield implementation, with deliverables including diagnostic reports, defined objectives, performance indicators, and ongoing implementation monitoring.

The firm operates on a professional services, direct-engagement model with no publicly disclosed pricing, no intermediaries, and no digital product or platform layer. Go-to-market is sales-led via the firm's own website (arktos-conseil.com) and the founder's LinkedIn presence, targeting a heterogeneous segment of "small-to-large enterprises seeking RSE transformation" across three use-case verticals: general RSE strategy, HR/labor management challenges, and environmental compliance requirements. The customer segments listed — companies facing greenfield RSE integration, firms with internal social/labor issues, and organizations needing waste and environmental compliance support — span SMB through large enterprise, though no logos, case studies, or revenue mix data are disclosed.

Commercially, arktos conseil is a private, founder-owned micro-firm with no external investors, no subsidiaries, no funding history, and no partnership ecosystem. Headcount is reported in the 1-10 range (independently estimated at 1-5), reflecting the solo delivery model in which Bertrand Auneau is the only documented practitioner. The firm has no app, no API, no disclosed technology platform, and no AI/ML capabilities; the competitive proposition rests entirely on the founder's personal credentials, ISO 26000 evaluation certification, and codified consulting methodology.
