The notion of corporate responsibility is now at the heart of the concerns of many economic players and their managers, both for-profit and non-profit, who wish to take into consideration the social, societal and environmental impact of their activities.

The PACTE law, by introducing the notions of “mission-oriented company” or “raison d’être” of the company, has enabled companies to anchor this notion of responsibility in their corporate purpose and in their business model.

However, becoming a responsible company is not limited to compliance with these terms alone. There are many legal mechanisms used to become a responsible company, which can be adapted according to the means, policy and size of the companies (labelling, ESUS (Social utility company accreditation) approvals, certification, philanthropy, evolution of governance, responsible purchasing policy, CSR policy, etc.).
