Question 19701 — businesses

Summary

Mr. Bruno Fuchs draws the attention of the Minister of the Economy and Finance to the duty of vigilance of parent companies and ordering companies, to their actions and those of their subsidiaries and subcontractors. This unique law in the world, promulgated on March 27, 2017, marked a turning point in the quest for globalization in favor of the common good. In application of this law, large French companies are subject to the obligation to establish, publish and implement a vigilance plan based on an inventory of the risks that their activities pose throughout their value chain, on health, personal safety, the environment and human rights. This law, now cited as an example in Europe and the United Nations, applies to all French companies with more than 5,000 employees in France, or more than 10,000 employees. in France with their head office elsewhere in the world. However, two years after being promulgated, the objective of this law is far from being achieved and NGOs draw up a “worrying observation” of its application by companies, deploring the absence of official lists of the companies concerned and noting significant gaps in its implementation, for those who apply the law. He questions him about what he intends undertaken to ensure that the companies concerned apply this duty of vigilance, using relevant, high-quality plans adapted to their activity and how the State intends to monitor these plans in order to ensure compliance with the law.
