δια χειρός
/ ˌði.a xiˈros /
Greek phrase
Crafted by one's own hand, with passion and dedication for a unique end result.

Integrity is your
most valuable
asset.

Let's protect it together.

The name says it all. Ethicalie — from the Greek ethos, through international best practice, into organisations that want to mean it. A boutique advisory practice built on one principle: integrity is personal. Integrity needs a personal touch.

Ethos · ἦθος
/ ˈeːtʰos /
Greek noun
Building credibility through expertise, integrity & reputation.

The Greek root of Ethicalie. Character that earns trust — practised, not declared.

Integrity, in their words

Every organisation has a story.
Here is how theirs sounds now.

Scenes from the conversations behind our work — from boardrooms, compliance desks and audit rooms. The voices are composites; the outcomes are the ones we work for every day.

01A CEO

You know what surprised me? The code of conduct finally sounds like us. People actually quote it in meetings now. No, not a big consultancy. Ethicalie. Small team, very hands-on…

From declared to demonstrated →
δια χειρός ... hands-on experience & dedication.

Ethicalie is built on a simple conviction: that integrity is not a vague idea or something we put in a policy — it is embedded in everyday practice. Δια χειρός — by hand, by commitment, by personal responsibility. Every engagement at Ethicalie is led directly by its founder, bringing the same standard she has applied throughout her career to every client, every organisation, every challenge.

Integritie.

Ethicalie's flagship offering — a comprehensive, end-to-end Integrity Program designed for private sector organisations and public entities that want to go beyond tick-box compliance. Built from deep hands-on experience in program design, including direct delivery of a program that secured a listed group's release from the World Bank Sanctions List.

The program is tailored to your organisation's sector, size, risk profile and regulatory context — covering every dimension of integrity from governance and anti-corruption to financial crime, ethics culture and sustainability due diligence.

Sustainability & Regulatory Readiness

Connecting governance and integrity to CS3D and EU regulatory obligations — a coherent framework, not a collection of disconnected compliance exercises.

03A Compliance Officer

ISO 37001:2025 alignment — closed. The gap analysis listed every new requirement against what we already had, so nothing was a surprise at the audit. And the bribery risk assessment, which worried me most, was what the auditors praised…

Honestly? I expected slides. We spent the morning on our own dilemmas. I finally know what to say when a client offers me tickets…

Insights & Regulatory Intelligence

What you need
to know now.

Senior analysis on the EU regulatory developments that matter most — written for boards, compliance officers and governance professionals who need clarity, not noise.

Anti-Corruption · EU Directive 2026/1021

The EU Anti-Corruption Directive: What Transposition Really Means for Your Organisation

Member states are actively transposing the new EU Anti-Corruption Directive into national law. The gaps between what the directive requires and what existing frameworks deliver are wider than most compliance teams realise — and the window to act before enforcement crystallises is narrow. This is what boards and compliance officers need to understand now.

Ethicalie Insights · 2026
AML · AMLA

The Expanding AML Perimeter: New Sectors in Scope

The EU's new AML package — AMLA, the single rulebook and AMLD6 — significantly broadens the perimeter of obliged entities. Crypto-asset service providers, professional football clubs and agents, luxury goods dealers, crowdfunding platforms and a wider range of professional services are now squarely in scope. What newly-obliged sectors need to put in place — and how those already inside the perimeter face a tougher, harmonised regime.

ISO 37000 Series

The ISO 37000 Family: A Standards-Based Path to Certified Integrity

An expanding family of international standards now covers governance, anti-bribery, whistleblowing, compliance and beyond — offering organisations a coherent, recognised path to demonstrate integrity in practice.

Whistleblowing

Beyond the Reporting Channel: What a Genuine Speak-Up Culture Requires

Having a reporting channel satisfies the legal minimum. Building a culture where people actually use it is an entirely different challenge — and where the real risk reduction happens.

Sustainability · CS3D

CS3D and Integrity: The Connection Most Organisations Are Missing

Corporate sustainability due diligence is not just an ESG exercise — it exposes the same value chain vulnerabilities that fraud and corruption exploit. The two agendas belong together.
