The notion of due diligence is increasingly recognized as the foundation of the social responsibility of organizations. It is an integral part of many international normative frameworks (UN, OECD, EU…) and gradually seems to integrate national laws assuming different legal forms.
The first roundtable of the Working Group on “Law, Development and Social Responsibility” was committed to the analysis of the adoption (or not) of this particular notion by national legal systems. . Based on the pioneering French experience on the "Corporate Duty of Vigilance" Law and opening up to other national practices, this roundtable scrutinized the progress and the challenges experienced by different (socio-political, economic, and cultural) contexts and their particular legal practices.
