• Les entreprises : vers de nouveaux modèles ?
  3 novembre 2021, par Mathilde COUDRAY

  Où l’on découvre deux formes d’engagement des entreprises du système alimentaire : lʼéconomie sociale et solidaire (ESS) et la responsabilité sociétale des entreprises (RSE). Si ces deux mouvements se sont développés indépendamment l’un de l’autre, ils tendent aujourd’hui tous deux à contribuer à la transformation des systèmes alimentaires.

• When collective action drives corporate social responsibility implementation in small and medium-sized enterprises : the case of a network of French winemaking cooperatives
  23 novembre 2021, par Mathilde COUDRAY

  Increasing attention has been given to the engagement of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in corporate social responsibility (CSR), yet little is known about collective SME actions to implement CSR. We conducted 29 semi-structured interviews to investigate a network of 18 French winemaking cooperatives. These SMEs are particularly interesting because they have traditionally operated on values similar to CSR principles. The case study explores how collective action was able to drive CSR implementation in the cooperatives over time. Our results highlight the mechanisms of collective action related to social capital and their impacts on cooperative relationships with key stakeholders. We also provide managerial recommendations for this type of CSR network.
