What is sustainability?

In French, sustainability often refers primarily to financial issues, with debt sustainability, for example, being both a political and managerial concern. However, the French language also offers a different perspective on sustainability, in the sense of what can be endured or supported. Sustainability is the idea that goods and services should be produced in such a way that they do not use resources that cannot be replaced and that do not damage the environment. It is a form of development that can be supported within societal and environmental limits. The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) shares this view, defining sustainability as a state in which all systems (environmental, social, economic) are able to meet present needs without preventing future generations from meeting theirs. The sustainability of a country or organization is therefore the goal of sustainable development.

What is the social responsability of associations?

The social responsibility of organizations is spreading to all entities, both private and public. This situation now leads associations governed by the 1901 law to also consider their social responsibility. Too often simply applied from that of companies, it must be framed within the specific context of associations. The social responsibility of associations primarily involves ensuring that the mission and values are disseminated throughout the entire organization. It also means remaining compliant with the law in order to survive, quite simply. The responsibility of associations also covers several aspects of accountability and transparency regarding the organization's performance in its daily operations. It also involves behaving ethically, both at the leadership level and on the ground. More broadly, associations can set an example, first because they have a fundamental role in political awareness and therefore a civic role, but also because they can be drivers of social innovation.

What is resilience?

In French, soutenabilité often refers primarily to financial issues, with debt sustainability, for example, being both a political and managerial concern. However, the French language also offers a different perspective on soutenabilité, in the sense of what can be borne or sustained. Soutenabilité is the idea that goods and services should be produced in such a way that they do not use resources that cannot be replaced and do not harm the environment. It refers to a form of development that can be supported within societal and environmental limits. The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) expresses a similar view, defining soutenabilité as a condition in which all systems (environmental, social, and economic) are able to meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. The soutenabilité of a country or an organization is thus the ultimate goal of sustainable development.

What are the spontaneous and specific mechanisms of governance?

Properly governing an organization is both a challenge and a vital necessity. In its formal dimension, governance is often associated with bodies such as the board of directors or with functions such as auditing. In its informal dimension, governance relies on spontaneous and specific mechanisms. The first of these is mutual oversight among executives. Equally informal, organizational culture helps to disseminate the values, rituals, and collective habits of the group. Caby, J., Hirigoyen, G., & Prat dit Hauret, C. (2013).
