Abstract
CSR is no more the privilege of big firms. Changes in actors’ behaviour have extended that issue to all actors. This study aims at analyzing the recent evolution of the concept of Enlarged Responsibility. It identifies the new (leading) actors influencing behaviours of productive organizations, and determines the breadth of their action. The paper also highlights the interactions between these various actors and the firms’ responses to their incentives, as well as the changes in sustainable and firms’ governance practices.
L’évolution récente des pratiques des acteurs socio-économiques a élargi - i.e. globalise - la question de la RSE à d’autres acteurs que les grandes entreprises. Cette contribution cherche à repérer les évolutions récentes de la notion de responsabilité (globale), à identifier les nouveaux acteurs (« moteurs » et « sujets ») influençant les comportements des organisations productives (grandes entreprises, PME, entreprises coopératives, entreprises sociales, services publics, etc.), et à déterminer l’étendue de leur action. Elle analyse également les interactions entre ces différents acteurs et identifie la réaction des acteurs-sujets face à ces incitations, ainsi que le contenu des nouvelles pratiques soutenables et l’évolution des modes de gouvernance des entreprises (ou, plus largement, des acteurs-sujets de la responsabilité).
