Programme
Inaugural conference: “The Politics of Precaution: Comparing Health, Safety, and
Environmental Risk Regulation in Europe and the United States”
Thursday 17 October 2013, 5.00-7.00 PM, ENPC, Champs-sur-Marne (Vicat, room V002)
[Lecture in English]
What are the factors that shape the public perceptions of risks, and what role do these
perceptions play in the making of regulatory policies? What is the influence of scientific
knowledge over risk assessment and public policies? Why and how do risk management
policies differ across developed countries, and what diffusion effects can we identify? How
can transatlantic cooperation be improved on these issues?
Second conference: “Sustainability: The Roles of Business and Government”
Monday 21 October 2013, 2.30-4.30 PM, ENPC, Champs-sur-Marne (Vicat, room V002)
[Lecture in English]
The business benefits of sustainable management have turned out to be much more
substantial than had been initially expected and thus many firms have made enormous
strides in reducing their environmental impact and in creating greener products and more
efficient production technologies. In a sense sustainability has «saved» corporate social
responsibility by giving it a stronger and cleared business focus. However, many global
environmental problems are beyond the capacity of firms or the market to effectively
address and require much stronger and more effective government regulations. Yet while
much regulatory progress has been made by many governments, there remains a lack of
willingness, ability and/or capacity to impose adequate global regulations.
Third conference: “Global Corporate Social Responsibility: Accomplishments and
Challenges”
Tuesday 29 October 2013, 4.30-6.30 PM, ENPC, Champs-sur-Marne (Vicat, room V002)
[Lecture in English]
How can we analyse the social and environmental impacts of policies and activities of
multinational firms, which are both constrained to become more socially responsible
and in search of opportunities to integrate sustainable development and management
objectives?
