Our manifesto
Res publica's raison d'être
Res publica is a company with a mission. We have defined our raison d'être as well as the commitments and actions that materialize it.
For a fair and sustainable society,
we bring to life dialogues that are useful for the decisions that concern you.
The objectives of the Res publica mission
To this end, Res publica and its staff make the following commitments, which will be monitored and assessed by a Mission Committee and an independent third-party organization:
Foster the usefulness of the dialogue processes we support: ensure high-quality debates, lead rich and open dialogues, give a full and fair account of what participants have to say, guarantee the right to follow up, support the responses of decision-makers by promoting the evaluation of the processes and the valorization of their results.
Ensurethe participation of all relevant stakeholders in the dialogue processes we support: working alongside our clients, ensure the exhaustive identification of stakeholders to be involved, promote the inclusiveness of processes in terms of mobilization and facilitation, pay particular attention to reaching out to those audiences furthest removed from citizen participation.
Accompanyingthe imperatives of ecological transition, sobriety and social justice: assuming our corporate social responsibility, limiting the environmental footprint of our activity, ensuring respect for the public's right to information and participation, and taking social justice into account in the dialogue approaches we support on projects and public policies, particularly those that have an impact on the environment.
Developthe culture of dialogue and citizen participation in France and abroad: share our know-how, make our activity part of a continuous and critical improvement approach to dialogue practices by conducting internal and external reflections with our customers and partners.
Res publica's vision and convictions
The Res publica team is driven by the desire to develop, as far as possible, the practice of democracy on a daily basis in order to prepare a better life for all in a spirit of social justice: the conception, organization, facilitation and valorization of useful and effective dialogues is at the heart of their professional concerns.
Oursocieties are faced with numerous challenges that will determine the quality of our future: the ecological and solidarity-based transition, the growth or persistence of inequalities, climate change, the protection of biodiversity, the preservation of cultivated soils, the future of water resources, the quality of the air we breathe and the food we eat. Our health depends on both individual behavior and collective choices, which can have consequences for our quality of life and life expectancy.
In addition, the digital transition is exacerbating competition between companies, countries and individuals, while making the protection of personal data more difficult and individual freedoms more fragile. This is contributing to a mutation of work at a time when employees' multiple expectations are becoming an important element in companies' strategic thinking.
Ourability to collectively meet these challenges in the years ahead will influence the future organization of our society, the way we live together both in the city and at work. For while the future is fraught with threats, it also holds the promise of a changing world that will become more inclusive, fairer and more sustainable. This depends on the relevance and quality of the decisions we make today, in the public arena and in the workplace.
The quality of decisions depends on the quality of the processes that produce them. And it also determines the quality of our future lives: a good decision is one that has been prepared, discussed and adopted by those it concerns. A good decision is inclusive, facilitates behavioral change, creates harmony and unity, and takes into account all the people it affects. Such is the conviction of the members of Res publica. Armed with these convictions, and thanks to useful and effective processes of consultation and collaborative dialogue, Res publica helps its customers make good decisions by enabling their stakeholders to contribute to shaping the decisions that affect them.
This is the conviction of the members of Res publica.
Backed by these convictions, Res publica helps its customers to make the right decisions by enabling their stakeholders to contribute to the decisions that affect them.
