Founded in 2001 by Matthieu Gufflet with a focus on indirect procurement, EPSA has grown into Europe's leading specialist in optimizing financial, operational and sustainable performance. With net sales of €600m and nearly 5,000 committed professionals operating across more than 40 countries, we serve over 16,000 customers — from CAC 40 corporations to mid-sized companies and public sector entities. Our platform of over 40 solutions covers purchasing performance, innovation financing and the energy and environmental transition. We operate on a unique shared-governance model that keeps the entrepreneurial spirit of each acquired company alive, driving collective success from the inside out.

We are a majority founder-owned group whose associate managers each bring deep specialist expertise and actively shape our direction. Our multi-disciplinary teams — consultants, scientists, engineers, tax specialists and digital experts — share one goal: to become a lever for transformation, performance and sustainable growth for our clients. With strong French roots and a rapidly expanding international footprint, EPSA is recognised for its technical know-how, its culture of entrepreneurship and its conviction that performance and responsibility go hand in hand.

We support the financial performance of organizations by bringing costs into line, financing innovation and managing financial risks. We strengthen operational expertise through procurement optimization, supply chain transformation, digital & IT advisory and organizational restructuring. And we accelerate the environmental transition by mastering energy costs, structuring CSR strategies and supporting decarbonization. Whether you need consultant management, fixed-price packages or tailor-made performance plans, we adapt our model to your needs and share in your success.

We believe companies must be responsible towards society and the environment. Our purpose is to become the trusted partner for any organization that wants to grow sustainably — by combining technical expertise with a genuine commitment to people, planet and profit. Every engagement is built around tangible results that benefit our clients, their stakeholders and the communities they operate in.

Adaptability and tailor-made support are in our DNA. We lead with listening and humility, because no two client challenges are the same. Innovation is not an aspiration — it is embedded in every mission we undertake. We hold ourselves to the highest standards of transparency, ethics and responsible business conduct, which is why we hold EcoVadis Platinum status and are certified Great Place to Work. And we are deeply committed to diversity, inclusion and the wellbeing of every member of the EPSA community.

We are the only European player offering truly global, 360° performance support — from purchasing and tax optimization to innovation financing, energy transition and digital transformation — under one roof. With over 40 proprietary solutions, more than 100 areas of expertise and a performance-sharing model in which we co-invest in your success, we deliver sustainable, measurable gains. Our EcoVadis Platinum rating (top 1% in our sector), ISO 14001 certification, Great Place to Work label and OPQCM qualification attest to the quality and integrity of everything we do.

Since 2019, EPSA has embedded social, environmental and governance issues at every level of the business through the 'EPSA for Good' programme. Our CSR strategy rests on three pillars: responsible governance, human capital and environmental impact. We follow ADEME's ACT Pas-à-Pas methodology for our climate strategy, have achieved EcoVadis Platinum status (87/100, top 1% in sector), CDP (B) rating and ISO 14001 certification, and publish an annual Sustainability Report aligned with CSRD requirements. Our EPSA Foundation, created in 2019, supports professional integration and youth through its triennial Great Cause — Sport & Youth.

The EPSA Foundation acts in the public interest, with a particular focus on professional integration for young people and its triennial Great Cause centred on Sport & Youth. Through partnerships with associations working in the field, we make our community commitments concrete and measurable, ensuring that our growth as a company creates a positive social legacy for future generations.

Diversity and inclusion are at the core of our social policy. We actively combat all forms of discrimination and have implemented HR processes designed to promote diversity and reduce barriers — from recruitment and integration through to career development. Our progress toward perfect gender parity and our Diversity Label are tangible proof of a workplace culture where every talent can thrive.
