The GEF/IFGE© Database
A unique database in France
Over the course of its history and through the research conducted by its members, IFGE has developed a database that is unique in France: the GEF/IFGE database.
This database compiles a comprehensive set of data and characteristics on the 120 largest listed French companies.
It contains governance data dating back to 1995 and now covers more than 250 companies as a result of market entries and exits over time. This sample provides a representative view of the largest companies listed on French stock markets over a 30-year period.
The database classifies these companies according to four criteria: company size, business sector, capital structure (ownership levels and shareholding rankings), and shareholder profiles (family owners, institutional investors, employees, etc.).
The Evidence-Based Studies series disseminates company data drawn from the GEF/IFGE© database. These publications provide descriptive statistics and analyses of the major developments that have shaped the governance of large publicly listed French companies over the past 30 years.
Case studies: Companies in the Anthropocene context
A collection of educational case studies developed in partnership with CleRMa and the University of Clermont Auvergne
The Earth system’s biogeophysical balances are undergoing transformation. The most visible and well-known manifestation is climate change, but other equally significant shifts are also taking place.
These transformations affect our daily lives as well as our economic systems, which we must learn to understand and decipher.
To prepare tomorrow’s leaders, we have launched an initiative to develop teaching case studies that confront learners with unprecedented management situations.
These case studies highlight managerial questions and strategic challenges that call for attitudes and responses that largely remain to be invented.
Societalisation Notebooks
Student work from the EM Politique track, supported by IFGE
“Societalization” is this new way of regulating corporate behavior by subjecting companies to the demands of civil society.
Societalisation is a concept theorized by Pierre-Yves Gomez.
“Society” now seeks to act upon companies so that they incorporate effective responses to social and environmental issues into their value creation.
“Societalisation” refers to this new way of regulating corporate behavior by subjecting it to the expectations and pressures of civil society.
The Societalisation Notebooks are summaries based on the academic work of students from the EM Politique track. They highlight the impact of political and cultural transformations on the life, behavior, and strategy of companies.
