The RIODD network (Organizations and Sustainable Development International Network) is an association which is:
- Scientific, meaning that it brings together researchers and people interested in research who are determined to lend it their support;
- International, since the problems addressed are necessarily being confronted all around the world, albeit in different forms at local and regional levels;
- Multidisciplinary, across the social sciences (philosophy, law, economics, sociology, management, political science, communications, etc.), because the sheer breadth of the questions at issue cannot be covered by just one approach or by insights stemming from one single discipline.

ADERSE (Association pour le Développement de l’Enseignement et de la Recherche sur la Responsabilité Sociale de l’Entreprise) stands for "Association pour le Développement de l'Enseignement et de la Recherche sur la Responsabilité Sociale de l'Entreprise" - which can be translated as follows in English: Association for the Development of Education and Research on Corporate Social Responsibility. Recognized by the FNEGE as a French academic association of Management Sciences, ADERSE already brings together about a hundred members originating from all over the country: University professors, lecturers and researchers, scholars from France's "Grandes Ecoles", doctoral candidates, and some professionals interested in the subject.
ADERSE is an academic association founded in 2002 by François Lépineux (INSEAD), Arnaud Pellissier-Tanon (Paris I Sorbonne) and Yvon Pesqueux (CNAM), to promote the integration of corporate social responsibility (CSR) into management education programs as well as into management research.

The Academy of Business in Society (EABIS) is an alliance of companies, business schools and other institutions committed to promoting more sustainable business practice through partnership, learning and research. EABIS' objective is to be a reference point for organisations seeking access to leading edge thinking and practice in corporate responsibility, sustainability, and governance.
EABIS was launched in 2002 by five founding companies - IBM, Johnson & Johnson, Microsoft, Shell and Unilever - and a number of Europe's leading business schools at INSEAD with the support of the European Commission.
