Topic 2 : Corporate responsibility : governance and financing of fair development
Plenary session
Workshops Topic 2 :
- Plenary Session
- 2.1 Social and environmental responsibility: ensuring that commitments take root
- 2.2 Corporate governance: what kind of power should the various actors have?
- 2.3 Financing business creation: access to credit for all
- 2.4 Diversity of forms of employment: combining flexibility with job security
- Interactive reporting session
In light of discussions held in the Forum workshops on this theme, this plenary session will explore possible avenues for changing financial and governance systems so that they encourage companies to act in a more socially and environmentally responsible manner for the long term. Several questions will guide the debate:
- How can social and environmental commitments be genuinely integrated in the practices of companies, administrations and local authorities over the long term?
- What new organisational types and governance would bring together all of the stakeholders in support of a forward-thinking approach and to find a balance between economic and social concerns for the long term?
- How can we encourage modes of financing which facilitate the development of sustainable activities at the local level?
- How can we bring together employers, employee organisations and the public authorities to work together on the measures needed to assist workers through changing employment situations?
