rse conseil

What rse conseil does

RSE Conseil is a Paris-headquartered French consulting firm specializing in Corporate Social Responsibility (RSE / RSO / ISR / ESG / CSRD) advisory for organizations of all sizes. Founded around 2014 by Rémi Demersseman and registered as a SASU, the firm operates through a distributed network of 100+ expert consultants across 12 French cities, rather than a centralized office model. Its offering is organized around four pillars: Conseil (CSR strategy, materiality assessment, CSRD reporting support), Sensibilisation (awareness workshops, including La Fresque de la RSE with 1,200+ sessions delivered), Formation (three-tiered training: débutant, opérationnel, expert), and Communication (sustainability reporting, website creation, social media management).

The firm's product surface rests on a set of proprietary tools and content: the MonEspaceRSE.com diagnostic platform, La Fresque de la RSE workshop format, La Matrice de Matérialité, Cartographie des Parties Prenantes, and Le Grand Jeu de la RSE (an interactive learning game launched in January 2024). Its book Le Grand Livre de la RSE received the Prix spécial Turgot 2024. RSE Conseil is embedded in a broader ecosystem through partnerships and co-founded entities — Fondation Oïikos, M4 Impact, Lab'oikos, Cité de la RSE & de l'Impact, and the Congrès International de la RSE — which provide credibility, talent, and distribution within the French CSR market.

The business model is a professional services model with quote-based pricing and multi-year subscription contracts across consulting, training, and communication engagements. The firm uses an owned media channel (RSE-Responsables.com) and event partnerships for lead generation. There is no disclosed revenue, no funding rounds (the firm appears self-funded given its €1,000 share capital), and no AI or machine-learning capabilities are evident in the disclosed stack (WordPress + Elementor Pro). The firm competes in a niche French-language CSR advisory market where regulatory demand (CSRD) is expanding but where AI-native entrants are not yet visibly disrupting incumbents.

• KPMG France (Sustainability Services): KPMG's French sustainability advisory offers CSRD reporting, decarbonization, and ESG strategy — overlapping with RSE Conseil's core offerings but within a broader consulting portfolio serving enterprise clients.
• EY France (Climate Change and Sustainability Services): EY's French sustainability advisory delivers ESG strategy, non-financial reporting, and training — competing with RSE Conseil for enterprise CSRD engagements within a wider consulting portfolio.
