STUDIES
Novethic's Studies are intended for professionals seeking to better understand the socially responsible issues faced by companies. These studies analyse the ways in which companies implement their disclosure requirements on sustainable development by examining specific themes such as employee training, sustainable building, and corporate corruption.
Since Novethic.com was launched just over 10 months ago, past Studies are only available in French. However, future Studies will be translated in English and available on this page. How Important is Employee Training on Sustainable Development Issues for the CAC 40 Companies?
This report, a collaborative effort between Novethic and Des Enjeux et Des Hommes measures the emphasis placed on the deployment of CSR policies by CAC40 corporations, and the attempt to engage employees via various kinds of training. Produced from an analysis of sustainable development reports, it focuses on the importance, or lack of, that businesses place on mobilising employees on sustainability issues.

The economics of real estate will have to change in order for different players to construct and operate buildings in line with the principles of sustainable development. The financial sector's heeding of these criteria could be key in spurring growth in sustainable real estate. This Novethic/ADEME study, based on an exclusive investigation of a panel of companies listed on the SBF 120, analyses the challenges of sustainable building, and examines the achievements made in socially responsible real estate investment.

Large international NGOs have almost all started closer links with the private sector. This recapitulative study, enriched by numerous case studies on recent campaigns by NGOs, reveals new trends on business-NGO partnerships. It examines over 561 NGOs (of which 385 are French) listed in the www.wwo.fr database. A substantial part of this study focuses more specifically on the relations between NGOs and financial institutions.
Release date: June 2006 Looking for Diversity in the CAC 40 Reporting
In France, the issue of diversity in the workplace is recent. But it has quickly gained considerable ground in HR communications. This report analyses the reporting of CAC40 companies (in 2005) to determine to what extent corporate diversity policies exceed window dressing, to propose specific indicators and meaningful targets. Both best practices and the less effective practices are identified. Companies are ranked using a method based on four key criteria: gender equality, older employees, disability and minorities. To ensure that a useful, comprehensive and synthetic tool is available to HR managers and/or sustainable development departments, a review of domestic and global benchmarks is offered, as well as an analysis of the position of extra-financial rating agencies.
