Description

Given the preponderant impact of the economic sphere on our societies, on the political, social and cultural levels, Justice et Paix has been working for several years on economic issues linked to the construction of sustainable peace and development. In the past, we have already taken a position in favor of a takeover by the political world, in order to put ethics and people at the heart of the economy. This study proposes a reflection on how to address companies directly, with a view to making them responsible for the impact of their activities in terms of respect for human rights.
