Abstract: According to FFI (Family Firm Institute, 2015), family businesses account for two thirds of the total number of companies globally each year and generate more than 70% of global GDP. They therefore play an increasing role in the economic activity of the country (Fletcher, 2002; Griffeth and al., 2006). Given the awareness of the weight of family businesses, a research field appeared in major international conferences and in the best management journals (Wright and Kellermanns, 2011). Among the topics addressed by this research, those devoted to ethics and social responsibility have been increasingly important since the 2000s (Debicki, Matherne, Kellermanns and Chrisman, 2011 in Coville) and have especially focused around the link between 'ethics or CSR- and family business. While the debate on the link between CSR and family business is unresolved (Coville, 2014) literature is more consistent on the fact that family businesses have the specificities resulting from the nature of family ties and values conveyed (trust, cohesion ...), their sustainability objectives and their local roots ... Are these values reflected in the speeches of the leaders of family businesses? Are there characteristic forms of managerial discourse of family businesses in CSR? Is this speech different from that of non-family businesses? Has the speech evolved over time under the effect of a certain "normalization (-institutionnalisation)" of CSR?
