2nd Academic Day Mission-Driven Companies: Theories and Practices

2nd Academic Day

Mission-Driven Companies: Theories and Practices

Following the first study day on “Mission-Driven Companies: Theory & Practice,” which brought together numerous researchers involved in observing, experimenting with, or developing the mission-driven company model in January 2024, we are pleased to invite you to attend the second edition of this research day on mission-driven companies.

Since day one, the number of mission-driven companies has exceeded 2,000. And as the movement expands, new questions arise. Beyond the dynamics of adoption, studying the concrete effects of mission-driven companies raises questions about how missions are managed and monitored, whether by researchers or consultants, or by companies themselves. How are the legal tools of mission-driven companies received and mobilized? And how do stakeholders, employees, unions, local communities, and environmental advocates learn or could learn to better use these tools to steer ecological and just transitions? What roles can researchers play in these transformations? At the institutional level, how does the case of mission-driven companies play into debates on public policies capable of making companies more accountable and promoting transitions? And what are the implications of debates on new legal forms of enterprise at the European level for the French framework? This second day will aim to continue the conversation, share work in progress, and nurture an interdisciplinary research community on mission-driven companies.
