Hyssop Agency

What Hyssop Agency does

Hyssop Agency (legal entity OUR FUTURE BY DESIGN SAS) is a French Corporate Social Responsibility (RSE) consulting boutique founded in 2020 and headquartered in Paris. The firm is led by three co-founders with deep prior-pedigree in sustainability and brand strategy: Dominique Royet (DG, formerly of WWF, Greenflex, and MaxHavelaar), Guillaume Gozé (Gérant, formerly of Saguez&Partners and Kettle/Apple), and David Garcia (Creative Director, 20 years in responsible communication). With a team of approximately 10 people, Hyssop provides end-to-end RSE advisory across diagnosis and action planning, CSRD compliance, biodiversity strategy, certification support, circular economy, internal employee engagement, RSE reporting design, and external/responsible communication. Its client base skews toward large French enterprises (LVMH, Dior, Kenzo, Guerlain, Sephora, Renault, Kiabi, leboncoin) and public-sector bodies (SNCF, RATP, ADEME, OFB, Bpifrance), and is formalized as Bpifrance-approved biodiversity experts.

Hyssop monetizes primarily through professional-services fees on consulting engagements, supplemented by productized content revenue from the "Cahiers Pratiques RSE" guide series (€45 per issue, €150 for the four-issue set, distributed via Stripe) and ancillary paid/free tools such as "Change the Day" (gamified biodiversity workshops) and the "Kit Anti-Greenwashing" downloadable toolkit. There is no proprietary software platform, API, or AI-driven offering; the technical moat rests on methodology, packaged content, and the founders' expertise. Distribution is direct B2B via email ([email protected]) and a content-marketing engine comprising a blog, newsletter, LinkedIn, and the practical guides. In April 2025, The Good Company (a responsible communication agency) acquired a minority equity stake and formalized a strategic alliance, sharing the "House of Good" coworking space at 142 rue Montmartre, Paris, and co-selling to clients including LVMH, CNP Assurances, and Upcoop. The legal entity operates with a €1,200 social capital, no disclosed institutional funding, and no public revenue figures.

Direct peers

• Utopies: Paris-based sustainable development strategy consultancy serving large French and European corporates on ESG strategy, reporting and materiality. Closely comparable boutique peer to Hyssop in client type and offering.
• Carbone 4: French climate and sustainability consulting firm that advises enterprises and financial institutions on decarbonisation, CSRD and biodiversity. Direct French peer to Hyssop in the same regulatory-driven sustainability advisory niche.
• Des Enjeux et des Hommes: French RSE and sustainable development consultancy working with major French corporates on CSR strategy, materiality and reporting — a closely comparable French boutique peer to Hyssop in target clients and service scope.
• The Good Company: Paris-based responsible communication agency that holds a minority stake in Hyssop since April 2025. Both firms share the 'House of Good' workspace and run joint client engagements combining RSE strategy and credible communications.
• Quantis: International sustainability consultancy specialised in environmental impact assessment, science-based targets and ESG strategy for large global brands. Closely comparable to Hyssop in methodology and enterprise client focus, though operating at larger scale.
• Enea Consulting: Paris-based independent consultancy advising corporates and investors on sustainability strategy, energy transition and ESG. Comparable in geography, scale and service lines to Hyssop.
• Greenflex: French RSE and sustainable development consulting firm that was co-founded by Dominique Royet (now Hyssop's DG). It offers CSRD, climate strategy and ESG advisory to large French enterprises — almost identical service stack to Hyssop.

Broad incumbents

• Deloitte Sustainability Services: Big 4 sustainability consulting practice offering CSRD, climate, biodiversity and ESG advisory to global enterprises. A broad incumbent peer that competes for the same large-corporate RSE mandates as Hyssop, scaled across geographies.
• EY Climate Change and Sustainability Services: Global Big 4 advisory practice providing CSRD reporting, ESG assurance and sustainability strategy to large enterprises. Overlaps with Hyssop's CSRD and reporting offering but at far greater scale and as part of a broader audit/consulting portfolio.
• KPMG ESG Advisory: Big 4 advisory practice delivering ESG strategy, climate risk and CSRD-related services to multinationals. Competes with Hyssop for enterprise CSRD mandates but typically targets larger, cross-border engagements.
