- Abstract
- The doctoral research studies the figure of the independent director, his origins, the missions entrusted to him, his strengths and weaknesses, as well as his links with corporate social responsibility in the light of the following question: can the independent director, because of his independence, be seen as a key or major player in the field of CSR; in other words, does his independence enable him to encourage, more than other directors who are not independent, socially responsible decision-making? The thesis defends the idea that, while it may enable CSR to be promoted to a certain extent, independence is not a prerequisite or a necessary condition for being a vector of CSR. More than independence, what ultimately matters is information, expertise, availability and adequate powers to challenge management and shareholder proposals, to strike the right balance between opportunities and risks, to speak out within the group and to oppose group thinking. Rather than a lack of ties (inherent in independence) with the company, promoting CSR and the interests of the various stakeholders implies being close to them, understanding their concerns with a view to long-term continuity.
