Dirigeants Responsables - Anjou-Maine

What Dirigeants Responsables - Anjou-Maine does

Dirigeants Responsables Anjou-Maine is a French non-profit association (loi 1901) founded in 2018 and headquartered in Angers, Pays de la Loire. It is a regional chapter of the national Collectif Dirigeants Responsables network and serves as a peer community of 29 business leaders (dirigeants) committed to corporate social responsibility (RSE/CSR). The association's core offering is structured peer learning: monthly working groups (ateliers) on themes such as biodiversity, artificial intelligence, water management, responsible digital technology, youth engagement, and the future of work; plenary sessions with expert speakers; and a structured member onboarding program with assigned mentors and two intake cohorts per year (August and February). It produces a public library of knowledge products — white papers, podcasts, directories, and event recordings — and operates the Charter for Contributive and Reparative Enterprises, a member commitment framework.

The business model is membership-based and subscription-like: member companies pay annual cotisations scaled by headcount (€590 for under 50 employees; €990 for 51–500; €1,550 for 501–1,000; €2,450 for 1,001–3,000; €5,600 for 3,001+), with a 50% reduction for mid-year (February) intake. Twelve percent of cotisations are remitted to the national Collectif Dirigeants Responsables, which coordinates biennial Universités de l'Économie Responsable (UER) events. Leadership is exercised by a co-presidency (Sandrine Rouxel-Landrin of Signorizza and Laurent Bizien of Martin Technologies since November 2022), supported by a Vice-President (Alexis Voizard of PerfHomme since November 2024). The association does not operate any technology product, proprietary platform, or AI/ML capability; its value is delivered through structured human interaction and publicly accessible content.

Others

• LUCIE: Operator of the LUCIE 26000 (ISO 26000-based) CSR label adopted by 50%+ of DR Anjou-Maine's members; comparable as an RSE ecosystem enabler (label/certification) rather than a competing membership organization.

• Centre des Jeunes Dirigeants (CJD): French network of ~5,000 young business leaders (dirigeants) running SMEs, organized into local chapters with peer-exchange and training; comparable as a chapter-based association of company directors built on peer learning, though broader in mandate than RSE.
