ESG Software Provider Sweep Promotes Freddie House to Chief Revenue Officer; Emphasizes Strategic Partnerships
July 31, 2025 by Joe Panettieri
Sweep, a developer of ESG and carbon accounting software, has promoted Senior VP Freddie House to chief revenue officer (CRO). Key priorities include expanding strategic partnerships with major business and IT consulting firms such as KPMG, Deloitte, WSP and Capgemini, the software company said.
Sweep, founded in 2020, is based in Paris, France. The company has 222 employees listed on LinkedIn as of July 2025. Sweep's software allows customers to assess their carbon footprints; align suppliers with sustainability targets; and reach compliance with CSRD (Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive) and other regulations. Key customers include L’Oreal and Lacoste.

In his new role, Sweep Chief Revenue Officer (CRO) Freddie House will "oversee end-to-end revenue operations, including business development, sales, and customer success, as Sweep rapidly expands into the US and Asia-Pacific markets," the company said.
House joined Sweep in April 2023 as VP of sales, according to his LinkedIn profile. He rose to senior VP of global revenue in January 2025, and now ascends to the chief revenue officer (CRO) position. House previously held key positions at Peakon (acquired by Workday in 2021) and Thomson Reuters, among other key posts.
Sweep's partner strategy spans consulting partners; technology and data partners; commercial partners and climate alliances. The company announced relationships with KPMG and ERM in September 2024. We don't know what percentage of Sweep revenue involves partners. Also, we don't know if the company has a recurring revenue program for MSPs (managed service providers).
In a prepared statement about his new role, House said: “I’m thrilled to take on the role of CRO at Sweep at this pivotal moment. We’re poised for hyper-growth, accelerating our expansion into key markets like the US and APAC. The immense market demand for our solution is a game-changer for sustainability data, driving tangible ROI for our clients."

Added Sweep CEO Rachel Delacour: “Freddie’s role is a transformative move for Sweep. His track record building and scaling revenue at top SaaS companies aligns perfectly with our aggressive growth. The sustainability data revolution is here, and with Freddie, we’ll help more organizations transform ESG goals into measurable business outcomes.”
ESG and Carbon Accounting Software: Market Growth Forecast and Challenges
Meanwhile, the global ESG software market is expected to reach $2.73 billion by 2030, up from $940.7 million in 2023, according to Grand View Research. That's a 17.3% compound annual growth rate (CAGR).
Still, that optimistic market forecast could face some challenges. On the one hand, complex ESG regulations may fuel demand for associated ESG and carbon accounting software. But on the other hand, geopolitical headwinds could pressure demand for ESG software.
Indeed, the U.S. federal government has rolled back and/or abandoned various climate initiatives since President Donald Trump's second term began in January 2025. Amid that backdrop, some of climate tech startups are struggling to find new funding and new customers amid recent geopolitical headwinds. Others are pursuing M&A deals.
For its part, Sweep raised $22 million in Series A funding in 2021. Balderton Capital led the round with participation from New Wave, La Famiglia and 2050. We don't know if the company has completed follow-on funding rounds.
Looking ahead, we'll be watching to see how House further shapes and evolves the Sweep partner program to drive more customer engagements and global revenues.
