L’agenda législatif du Parlement européen sur la gouvernance d’entreprise soutenable : le point de vue de Marie Toussaint, eurodéputée (EELV)

Corporate governance is still not adapted to the environmental, climate, and social challenges of the twenty-first century. However, there is an urgent need to rethink and reform regulations imposed on companies so that they truly integrate the impacts of their activities on climate change, biodiversity, and human rights, and so that they are held accountable for their actions. While things are slowly moving forward at the European level, we must be vigilant and remain ambitious in order to move from soft law to a truly binding law that would ensure in particular that the climate objectives set out in the Paris Agreement are respected. Long-term thinking, taking account of planetary boundaries in corporate strategies, and criminalizing behaviors that are harmful to the environment are all part of these ambitious but necessary solutions for reconnecting human beings with the living world.
