Our story: from a crazy idea to a company with a positive impact

The birth of a company with a mission

June 2020. Digital technology is under-represented in the social economy. \ Is digital a naturally non-polluting and inclusive space?\ \ Of course not!\ \ And that's something Frederick, Ronan, Jérôme, Étienne and Stefan, five experts in the field, have realized. Driven by a strong belief in a more sustainable economy, they decided to take action.\ \ "*We're going to create an SSE company to support others in their sustainable digital transformation."*\ \ And so fruggr was born! From the outset, we registered as a company with a mission. Our ambition: to be a company with a positive impact, and to promote digital technologies that also have a positive impact.

Renowned for our strong values

We apply this vision in very practical way. For example, fruggr was created in Rennes, away from Paris. 90% of the French population lives in the regions, so we went where the people are. Right from the start, we set up a horizontal structure. Autonomy is more than encouraged! We believe in collective intelligence, rather than micro-management. 50% of profits are paid back to employees and to social initiatives. The rest is invested in the company to ensure its resilience. No dividends. We are determined, and determination pays off: very quickly, companies including several major accounts have put their trust in us. We've won awards. We've hired talent. A lot of talent: experts in digital, CSR, responsible digital... We've even been approved by the French government as a socially sustainable company. In 2022, thanks to our teams and our continuous improvement approach, we were market leaders in measuring the social and environmental impact of digital technology in France, with some of the most advanced R&D in Europe.

Looking ahead

We recently opened offices in Paris. To reach more key accounts and grow. Why ? Because it's the key accounts that are the first to get up to speed, and they're the ones that bring our partners and service providers along with them. Our ambition is not to grow for the sake of growing, but to involve ever more people in our mission: to help companies improve their social and environmental impact.\ \ And because transparency and sharing are also part of our values, we're letting you discover our impact report, which tells you all about our activities and objectives!
