Question 13505 — businesses

Summary

Ms Émilie Cariou questions the Minister of the Economy and Finance on the establishment of a “Territorial Corporate Responsibility” label for companies with more than 500 employees. This system would call for establishing a certification of the territorial commitment of companies by complementing the social and environmental responsibility (CSR) of companies with a territorial commitment of companies (RTE), purely incentive system, targeting large companies, as explained by the MPs authors of the report on “the preparation of a new stage of decentralization in favor of territorial development” (Messrs. Arnaud Viala, Jean-François Cesarini and Guillaume Vuilletet, report of the joint information mission on the preparation of a new stage of decentralization in favor of territorial development n° 1015, filed on May 31, 2018). This new concept would aim to encourage the economic revitalization of territories by reducing the territorial divide. It would encourage the recognition and promotion of companies deploying their operations throughout the diversity of French territories, including rural areas, and would constitute an incentive lever to support real economic deconcentration towards territories such as the Meuse. Four main criteria could be taken into account: firstly, the mapping of the geographical location outside metropolitan areas; secondly, the means of deconcentration of workplaces; thirdly, mobility facilities including assistance with the spouse's job search and housing search; fourthly, involvement in the local economic, associative, cultural and educational fabric. This system, purely voluntary, is inspired by the proven social and environmental responsibility (CSR) mechanism. It is fully in line with the philosophy of the PACTE law recently adopted by the National Assembly which, in article 61, redefines the corporate purpose of the company by adding social and environmental issues. She would therefore like to know his intentions on this issue.
