    Devoir de Vigilance: Reforming Corporate Risk Engagement Copyright © Development International e.V., 2020 ISBN: 978-3-9820398-5-5 Authors: Juan Ignacio Ibañez, LL.M. Chris N. Bayer, PhD Jiahua Xu, PhD Anthony Cooper, J.D. Title: Devoir de Vigilance: Reforming Corporate Risk Engagement Date published: 9 June 2020 Funded by: iPoint-systems GmbH www.ipoint-systems.com 1 “Liberty consists of being able to do anything that does not harm another.” Article 4, Declaration of the Rights of the Man and of the Citizen of 1789, France 2 Executive Summary The objective of this systematic investigation is to gain a better understanding of how the 134 confirmed in-scope corporations are complying with – and implementing – France’s progressive Devoir de Vigilance law (LOI n° 2017-399 du 27 Mars 2017).1 We ask, in particular, what subject companies are doing to identify and mitigate social and environmental risk/impact factors in their operations, as well as for their subsidiaries, suppliers, and subcontractors. This investigation also aims to determine practical steps taken regarding the requirements of the law, i.e. how the corporations subject to the law are meeting these new requirements. Devoir de Vigilance is at the legislative forefront of the business and human rights movement. A few particular features of the law are worth highlighting. Notably, it: ● imposes a duty of vigilance (devoir de vigilance) which consists of a substantial standard of care and mandatory due diligence, as such distinct from a reporting requirement; ● sets a public reporting requirement for the vigilance plan and implementation report (compte rendu) on top of the substantial duty of vigilance; ● strengthens the accountability of parent companies for the actions of subsidiaries; ● encourages subject companies to develop their vigilance plan in association with stakeholders in society; ● imposes civil liability in case of non-compliance; ● allows stakeholders with a legitimate interest to seek injunctive relief in the case of a violation of the law.

  • Kering – a Path Towards Sustainable Luxury
    Kering – A path towards sustainable luxury Carolina Fernandes Dissertation written under the supervision of Patricia Amaro Machado Dissertation submitted in partial fulfilment of requirements for the MSc in Management with Specialization in Strategy and Entrepreneurship, at the Universidade Católica Portuguesa, 4th January 2019 Abstract Dissertation Title: Kering - A path towards sustainable luxury Author: Carolina Fernandes Keywords: strategic change, dynamic capabilities, firm performance, sustainability, luxury goods Organizations are affected by exogenous shocks such as changes in consumer preferences through time, making it crucial to face these challenges in a way that will lead to a competitive advantage, as well as long-term survival. In order to overcome these situations, firms need to actively change their strategy to successfully adapt to the external environment, by altering, for instance, its technology, structure and processes. Scholars have studied the importance of strategic change, as well as dynamic capabilities, in firm’s success, highlighting the impact of an active process of change and its positive effect on performance. This dissertation focuses on showing a real-life example of a company that changed its processes in order to increase its fit with the external environment. The teaching case focuses on Kering’s path towards becoming a luxury leader in environmental sustainability, transforming its governance structure as well as operational practices. The luxury conglomerate used dynamic capabilities successfully in order to adapt, not to a crisis, but to a gradual change in consumer preferences. This case is a clear example of how important it is for companies to sense potential changes in the external environment, and to take action in order to address those situations in a way that will improve performance in the long-run.
