Abstract (FR)
L'industrie chimique a mis en place de longue date un programme de gestion et de prévention des risques dénommé “Responsible Care” (« Engagement de Progrès » en Français). Ce programme préfigure le thème du développement durable apparu au cours des années 1980. Au travers de la généalogie de cette pratique et de son utilisation au sein d'un grand groupe chimique français, l'article cherche à montrer que, contrairement à ce qui est avancé le plus souvent, les entreprises ne sont pas simplement en réaction face à des pressions extérieures. Elles agissent également de façon autonome de telle sorte qu'elles contribuent à façonner les attentes de la société. Un cadre théorique adapté des travaux d'Hopwood, de Miller et de Giddens est utilisé pour expliquer les phénomènes à l'œuvre.
Abstract (EN)
Chemical industry's managers have developed since mid-1970' a management and prevention risk policy named “Responsible Care”. This policy was a first draft for a sustainable management even if these two concepts were not exactly synonymous. Through genealogy of this practice and its use in a large French chemical company, this paper asserts that, contrary to the common wisdom developed in research, companies don't simply react to stakeholders' pressures. Companies develop autonomously ways to protect their environment and so they contribute to change society expectations. A theoretical framework adapted from Hopwood, Miller and Giddens' works is used to explain phenomenon we could observe.
