The scientific council of the "Community of Mission-driven Companies" association is organising the 1st edition of the "Mission-driven Companies: Theories & Practices" conference.

It will take place at the Campus Diderot of emlyon business school (Paris, 12th arrondissement) on 25 January 2024, from 8.45am to 6pm.

The aim is to bring together researchers interested in this legal innovation in order to draw up a detailed inventory of practices, but also to gain a better understanding of the "société à mission" movement, its limits and effects on both a practical and theoretical level, and to share open research questions.

The day's programme has been put together on the basis of projects submitted in response to a call for papers, inviting contributions of an empirical, theoretical or conceptual nature on the following themes:

- Mission and operation of mission companies;

- Responsible governance and major challenges

- Articulation or comparison with the SSE or other forms of company

- Mission and corporate theories
