Our vision of CSR
At Ydès, CSR is not regarded as a simple obligation or a passing trend, but as a deep-rooted conviction that shapes the fabric of our firm.
Our approach is driven by the ambition to create tangible, positive impact, both on our environment and on the society around us.
We believe that commitment to CSR is embodied in our everyday actions: in the way we conduct our business, collaborate with our clients and partners, and share our values within our teams.
This awareness is reflected in the genuine involvement of our people at every level, a constant drive to learn and innovate, and an attentive response to the social and environmental challenges we can address as a responsible actor.
By adopting this vision, Ydès aims to play its full part in building a sustainable future while remaining true to its identity and founding values.
The three pillars of our CSR approach
1. Social pillar: putting people at the heart of our organisation
We believe that long-term performance is built on the talent, diversity and wellbeing of those who make up our firm.
Our social policy is based on inclusion, equality, quality of life at work, ongoing training and community engagement.
We strive to provide everyone with a fair, respectful and fulfilling environment, where career development, dialogue and recognition are essential.
Our initiatives include: combating discrimination, ensuring access to training, adopting fair pay policies, fostering team building and wellbeing at work, and supporting skill-based volunteering and solidarity projects.
2. Economic pillar: acting ethically and responsibly
Our economic foundation relies on ethical and transparent management, commitment to local and responsible economies, and a considered diversification of revenue sources.
We prioritise working with local partners and ensure transparent pricing.
Innovation and digital transformation play a central role in our strategy — supporting our teams, enhancing the quality of our services, and adapting our practices to the sector’s evolution.
Our initiatives include: compliance with professional ethics and regulatory standards (Ordre and CARPA, the Bar Association and fund oversight body ensuring ethical and financial compliance), active involvement in professional bodies, transparency on fees, preference for local partners to support proximity economies, and the deployment of AI and digital tools to reduce administrative burdens.
3. Environmental pillar: reducing our ecological footprint
Aware of the impact of our activities, we act responsibly and concretely at every level of the firm.
Our ambition: to reduce our ecological footprint and raise our teams’ awareness of sustainable development issues.
Our initiatives include: waste management, reduction of digital pollution, optimisation of energy use, promotion of low‑impact mobility, consumption of local and responsible products, reduced paper use and document digitisation.
Our CSR approach forms part of an ongoing process of improvement, guided by the belief that every action matters.
Together, let’s continue building a more responsible, innovative and inclusive future.
