Fin de cavale pour les multinationales ?

This report by Friends of the Earth International discusses the French law on the duty of vigilance for parent companies and ordering companies, promulgated on March 27, 2017, and its application to multinational corporations regarding human rights and environmental violations.

• On March 27, 2017, France promulgated a pioneering law regarding the duty of vigilance for parent companies and ordering companies, intended to combat the impunity of multinationals that violate the rights of local populations and workers or destroy the environment.
• More than six months after the law's entry into force, it remains relatively unknown and there are many questions regarding its scope and application methods.
• The report analyzes the interpretation of the duty of vigilance law through three specific cases: Total's palm oil 'biorefinery' project in La Mède, Société Générale's support for the Rio Grande LNG export terminal in the United States, and French supermarkets' involvement in the banana industry in Ecuador.
