The Industrial Companies and Sustainable Development Department addresses the internal processes within companies and their relationship with the outside world from a sustainable development point of view.
In this context, the problems of management are extended to governance and the study of the different actors, and analyzed in view of the design of methods, tools and systems of reference. Information and assessment problems are designed both from a substantive and procedural perspective.
Current research addresses :
development of criteria and indicators for the Greater Lyon area, starting from negotiation theory, ecological imprint and human development indicators. Prepared in collaboration with Rhône-Alpes Energie-Environnement, the program aims at designing methods and decision making tools to be used by local actors of development who take part in territorial projects (global development contracts, territorial charters, SAGE, river contracts etc...)
governance processes for water management based on the analysis of different actors on a given territory
sustainable development teaching methods (in collaboration with UQAM Montreal) : review of different approaches in the teaching of sustainable development and assessment of required knowledge and expertise for the multiple aspects of this broad concept.
