A Committed Team
Benefit from support in your CSR challenges and the elevation of your employees’ CSR potentials!
ETHIKYOU
Founded in 2021, ETHIKYOU is a company specialized in CSR solutions. Initially in consulting, ETHIKYOU has extended its offering with the digital tool integrating its CSR expertise at the service of HR, managers and business leaders.
This choice stems from the conviction that the transformation of an organization is only possible with its most valuable asset: its human capital, which is crucial in implementing policies and resources, especially in terms of CSR.
This belief in people also inspired the name ETHIKYOU, derived from the Greek word “Ethikos,” which refers to ethics and morals that guide the pursuit of good in human life around the world.
Focusing on the potential within a person or an organization, ETHIKYOU should be understood as ETHIK from the Greek word, and YOU from the English pronoun, to address directly each individual or organization to carry out CSR activities.
Key Dates
CEO
Involved in CSR since 2006, Boris has gained extensive ESG expertise working with public institutions (both in Europe and internationally), contributing to the development of global ESG frameworks for businesses before assisting them in complying with these standards. He then worked with an ESG data provider to develop corporate ESG methodologies and later with a law firm and consulting firms, where he helped companies comply with various French and European regulations (Article 173 of the French Energy Transition Law, Article 29 of the French Energy and Climate Law, SFDR, EU Taxonomy, CSRD, etc.).
For many years, Boris has worked on a myriad of CSR issues for both ESG trendsetters and ESG-compliant players. This has taken him to various countries to bring his expertise to companies, teach at universities, speak at events and take part in Assessment Center assignments. His recognized expertise has enabled him to write and co-write for prestigious institutions.
Boris holds Master’s degrees in Economics-Finance (Paris Dauphine) and in Public Law, complemented by a Master’s degree focused on European Law, an MBA and ESG-related specializations from universities in France, in the United States and in Switzerland. He is also certified from the CFA Institute in ESG Investing, the AMF (French Financial Markets Authority) for investment professionals, and the International Scrum Institute as a Scrum Master and a Product Owner.
For ETHIKYOU, existence is not defined by what we have done, but by what we become. Life is an ongoing education that feeds a person’s potential through his experiences. This potential, present in each of us, is not measured solely by given situations, but by instinct, intuition, and sensitivities that are constants in our behaviors. When aligned with CSR, this potential can be a powerful asset for the company.

Managing Partner
With a background in accounting and HR since 2010, Marguerite has worked in a variety of companies (accounting firms, start-ups, VSEs/SMEs, large corporations, etc.). She has begun her career as an Accounting Associate before advancing to roles such as Sole Accountant, Accounting Manager, and International Accounting Manager, where she solidified her managerial experience.
Marguerite has also developed expertise in human resources, particularly from an operational point of view (personnel administration, payroll management, recruitment, employer branding, compensation). She had the opportunity to participate in various HR projects, such as the implementation of an HRIS (career management), and has developed a sensitivity to issues linked to the quality of work. This allows her to work as an HR and CSR consultant, as well as a transition manager on these issues.
Marguerite’s interest in HR led her to take a specialized Master’s degree in Human Development and Transformation Management at the IESEG School of Management. She has thus been able to develop and deepen her skills in, among others, HR strategy, coaching, employee engagement, change management, organizational transformation and CSR.
Why ETHIKYOU?
ETHIKYOU was founded to support companies in navigating challenges arising from the accelerating regulatory landscape surrounding CSR at both the European and French levels, which now imposes legal frameworks on practices that were once voluntary.
This is exemplified by the CSRD (Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive) in Europe, which has transformed CSR reporting, including the French Non-Financial Performance Declaration (DPEF).
In response to this tightening regulatory environment, ETHIKYOU has expanded its traditional consulting services to include an innovative digital solution designed to mitigate risks and create opportunities for companies undergoing transformation through CSR.
Increasing Obligations for More Businesses
Approximately 50,000 companies in Europe are required to publish a CSR report under the CSRD!
The CSRD is the most important directive in the European CSR regulatory framework, which is made up of several regulations. In recent years, these regulations have become more and more stringent, specifically affecting certain business sectors, then sometimes all sectors.
These European regulations include the SFDR (Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation), which has been aimed at financial players since 2021, and the Green Taxonomy since 2022, which is aimed at all sectors, following the example of the CSRD or CSDD (Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive), which targets several sectors. In Europe, these regulations share common logics and requirements, creating similar trends outside Europe.
For instance, in recent years, countries around the world have adopted CSR-related regulations that include shared principles with those in Europe. Concrete examples can be found in countries in the Americas (Brazil, United States), Africa (South Africa, Morocco), Asia (China, Singapore), and Oceania (Australia, New Zealand).
These regulatory trends are inevitably prompting companies’ internal and external stakeholders to take extra-financial issues into consideration in their CSR policies. So, whether it’s the demands of regulations or stakeholders, companies have no choice but to evolve and transform their business models in order to survive.
To facilitate this inevitable organizational transformation, companies must develop their CSR potential both in terms of policies and strategies, as well as at the level of their collaborators.
Our Mission
Our mission is to support companies worldwide in their transformation through CSR, with a particular emphasis on human capital, which is the most valuable asset of any organization.
ETHIKYOU’s mission goes beyond consulting services for regulatory compliance projects and CSR initiatives, to raise the CSR potential of companies and their employees. Indeed, at ETHIKYOU, we believe that this potential, put in perspective with the spirit of CSR, is a precious treasure to enable the transformation through CSR of companies subject to the current and future demands of regulations and stakeholders.
Ignoring this treasure is tantamount to depriving an employee of his or her full potential, and depriving a company of the ability to transform itself in a profound and lasting way. In short, to survive and thrive as the world evolves.
ETHIKYOU thus facilitates the assessment of this potential and offers consulting services to guide companies in their CSR efforts (regulatory compliance, strategy development, training, business analysis, etc.).
The Values that Guide Us
Our Vision
With these values and their synergy, Marguerite and Boris foster a corporate culture that embraces the potential within each individual, breaking down social determinism and limiting beliefs that hinder the ability to unveil one’s natural potential. This conviction embodies the essence of ETHIKYOU, which believes in the potential of employees at all levels of an organization to drive transformation required by regulations and stakeholders worldwide.
We recognize that this transformation must extend beyond mere regulatory compliance, as stakeholders, including clients and recent graduates, are no longer convinced by the superficial adoption of imposed CSR requirements as a means to demonstrate ethical values.
In this reality, where CSR is becoming a central issue in a company’s long-term viability, we see the need to reveal the CSR potential of the human being, who represents a treasure present in every employee. Whatever their origins or beliefs, every employee has a treasure within them, but like all treasures, it’s hard to find.
In the case of CSR human assessment, finding this potential requires methodologies and objective approaches based on CSR/ESG dimensions. This is where ETHIKYOU’s vocation begins, putting CSR at the heart of the human factor to enable companies to tap into this treasure with access to tools and indicators.
Beyond this human CSR analysis, ETHIKYOU provides a development cooperation solution through its digital platform, which takes into account the main regional particularities in terms of CSR and regulations. Indeed, by revealing the CSR potential of individuals around the world, ETHIKYOU aims to demonstrate synergies despite different visions and cultures.
