Hesus

About Hesus

Hesus operates as a key partner for the construction and civil engineering sectors, specializing in the comprehensive management of construction site waste, particularly contaminated soils and excavated materials. The company was founded in 2008 by Emmanuel Cazeneuve, who currently serves as CEO. His background includes a Master of Science in Environmental Science from Trinity College Dublin, which aligns with the company's focus on environmental solutions within the construction industry.

The firm's business model is centered on providing end-to-end services that cover the logistics, treatment, and recovery of construction waste. Hesus targets public works contractors and other construction industry players, offering solutions for managing polluted sites, removing and valorizing excavated materials, and supplying necessary aggregates and other materials to job sites. Revenue is generated by managing the entire supply chain for construction site materials and waste, from providing initial online quotations to ensuring final disposal or recovery is compliant with regulations.

Hesus has developed a digital platform, Hesus Store, that functions as a marketplace to optimize the management of construction materials. This platform connects construction sites with complementary needs, allowing excavated soil from one location to be used as a resource at another, thereby promoting a circular economy. The service streamlines logistics, administrative tasks, and economic aspects for its clients. The company reports that its circular economy solutions enable an average recovery rate of 82% for spoil and can reduce greenhouse gas emissions by up to 80% for its customers. Significant milestones include a €10 million fundraising round in March 2019 from investors like the Paris Green Fund, Suez Ventures, and Construction Venture to fuel European expansion. The company has also grown through acquisitions, such as Fleaty, a digital platform for ordering and delivering building materials.
