Press alert  

Promoting value-creation, fairer and more inclusive entrepreneurship

Presentation of the G20 entrepreneurs' recommendations to Marlène Schiappa, Minister Delegate to the Minister of the Interior, in charge of Citizenship.

The 13th G20 of Young Entrepreneurs Summit was held in Italy last October to develop concrete proposals to promote and develop the entrepreneurial ecosystem worldwide. Access to finance, corporate environmental responsibility, diversity and inclusion were at the heart of the debates.
Today, Maxime Guillaud, founder and CEO of INSKIP, member of the French delegation of the G20 of young entrepreneurs with Citizen Entrepreneurs presented his recommendations to Marlène Schiappa, Minister Delegate to the Minister of the Interior, in charge of Citizenship.‍

‍

The recommendations proposed to the Minister are threefold. The first is to improve access to financing, capital and public contracts. In 2021, 10 billion euros were invested in French technology companies, yet many companies still struggle to access this financing. This first proposal aims to make all investment schemes accessible to companies, especially the smallest ones, and to continue the efforts undertaken to make it easier for startups and SMEs to access public contracts.

Today, the 2014 laws on corporate environmental responsibility, initially defined by the European Commission, only apply to multinationals, for the rest, this approach is voluntary. The second axis of recommendations submitted concerns the creation of a more incentive framework for companies with a sustainable environmental impact by making the environmental diagnosis and plan mandatory for all companies.

For Maxime Guillaud, founder and CEO of INSKIP and member of the French delegation of the G20 young entrepreneurs, "COP26 reminds us that States alone will not be able to reach the set objectives. Companies can no longer be satisfied with more or less voluntary CSR policies in terms of the environment; their action in this area must be general and systematic. It must be translated into standardized action plans, based on actions and indicators normalized on a national scale"‍

Another proposal of this second axis : the creation of a "Climate Change Compatible Company" status to recognize the quality of the environmental approach initiated by the company and incentives to encourage the implementation of environmental policies.

The third and final axis proposed this Tuesday to Marlène Schiappa is to encourage companies to more inclusion, more diversity and more equality for a more just and equitable society. This last one goes through the implementation of incentives for hiring, with, in particular, the removal of social charges due up to 20%.  

‍"The Startup Nation is not the nation of an innovative elite, but a nation that allows and encourages all citizens to innovate in their own way." concludes Maxime Guillaud.
