L'intérêt économique aux prises avec la visée éthique: le cas de Rio Tinto Alcan au Ghana

Cécile Renouard

Mondes en développement, 2008, vol. n° 144, issue 4, 63-74

Abstract: Criticizing an instrumental view of business ethics, that submits social and societal corporate commitments to the constraints of profit, the paper defends a perspective that considers ethics as a critical tool aimed at establishing limits to an excessive economic growth, at transforming the rules of the game, enabling private actors to foster innovative activities which contribute also to local development. The case study of the activity of Rio Tinto Alcan in Ghana confirms this thesis.
