François Ewald
Ethics Commission

François Ewald holds a doctoral degree in political science, has the insurance chair as professor with the Conservatoire national des arts et métiers (CNAM), is a research advisor to the Fédération Française des Sociétés d'Assurances (the French Federation of Insurance Companies), sits on the editorial committee of the publication "Risques" and is a member of Areva's Science and Ethics Commission.

In the debate over sustainable development, it would appear the aim is not so much to last or continue, but rather to "invent a new departure". That is, to go beyond mere crisis solving and operate a mutation. Do you think industry can radically change its goals, its ways, its management, its production?
If the common goal aims at qualitative development as opposed to quantitative growth, how to evaluate - and who is to judge - if a firm contributes to more well-being?
Can we rely entirely on the sense of responsibility as expressed by industry?
Is SD an "in" concept, a necessary mutation, improvements to be invented, a world vision, a technocratic creation, a new consciousness, history in progress, a challenge for the XXIst century, a point in a cycle... or something else?
