The World Forum for a Responsible Economy is organised by Réseau Alliances, the first network of responsible entrepreneurs in Hauts-de-France.

A key player in the mobilisation and collaboration of economic forces on CSR, Réseau Alliances has been connecting economic players in the region since 1993 by promoting collective synergies. In this spirit, the World Forum has been at the origin of major regional projects such as the Third Industrial Revolution - rev3, the Social Business Nord de France - SoBizHub, or the B Corp movement in the region.

The World Forum for a Responsible Economy aims to showcase projects in France and internationally. In order to increase the influence of these practices, the World Forum for a Responsible Economy has developed a network of local, national and international organisations and experts within the field of sustainable development. Each year, these close ties enable us to showcase the best practices of the most innovative companies in the field of CSR across all five continents. The Forum is a collaborative event, co-constructed throughout the year with all its stakeholders, in France and internationally.

A territory to implement our actions

The great strength of the Respeco Institute and the World Forum for a Responsible Economy is to have a full team dedicated to field expertise.

Indeed, we support businesses within Hauts-de-France (France) through Réseau Alliances, a network facilitating meetings between members, identifying the axes of progress and offering training courses and workshops on targeted topics.

These actions allow us to better understand the expectations of companies, formalize returns of experiences and thus feed the Institute !

I really had a very fulfilling experience during the 3 days of the World Forum. I had the privilege of meeting many speakers, participating in various conferences and workshops. The fact that we have been involved in this forum makes us more responsible! I will keep a very good memory of it! Congratulations and thank you for these discoveries and for sharing all these experiences.

The President

Jean Pierre LETARTRE, has been appointed President of Réseau Alliances and the World Forum for a responsible economy

He joined Ernst & Young audit firm in 1985 before being appointed in 2008 as Chair and CEO of the group. He stimulated a new dynamic in the company by introducing new technologies into services offered and initiated a profound transformation of management methods.

His deep understanding of the entrepreneurial world, his social and regional commitment as Chair of the Committee of Greater Lille, offer Jean-Pierre Letartre a unique position from which to observe the economic activity of our region. It is, therefore, quite natural that he should succeed Philippe Vasseur, and in January 2019 he assumed the Chair of Réseau Alliances, the network for Entrepreneurs for Responsible Growth of the Hauts-de-France.
