European Project : TRANSCORP - Transnational Corporations and the Shifting Boundaries of Justice

Subsidised by the European Marie Sklodowska-Curie Actions programme, which funds young researchers, this project is led by Pierre-Louis Choquet, post-doctorant under the supervision of Martin Giraudeau for a period of two years.

TRANSCORP aims to advance our understanding of the changing interface between business and society by analyzing the judicialisation of corporate social responsibility (CSR) – a phenomenon that is increasingly observed in the European Union, and notably in France, where the recent adoption of the ‘duty of vigilance’ law has opened the prospect that transnational corporations could be sued by third-parties for not taking sufficiently into account the risks generated by industrial activities across their production chains.
