Presidential election: deciphering the programmes

The entrepreneurs and committed leaders deciphered the programmes of the presidential candidates in the light of their proposals presented in the Manifesto for the Economy of Tomorrow.

What are the different proposals to make the economy a solution for tomorrow's world? Committed entrepreneurs are calling for a renewed contract between the State and all businesses, in the service of the common good. What do the candidates propose in this sense?

Anne Hidalgo

The ecological and social transformation of companies is an issue in Anne Hidalgo's programme to reduce our carbon emissions by 50% by 2035. The sharing of value within companies will be encouraged, in particular by limiting the pay gap from 1 to 20 and by creating a bonus/malus on the contributions linked to the portion devoted to salaries.

Yannick Jadot

Taxation, public procurement, state aid and investment will be reviewed in the light of the commitment of businesses, which will have to speed up their transition.

Emmanuel Macron

Emmanuel Macron proposes clear rules for a better sharing of value within the company. At the same time, he proposes the establishment of new criteria for success by indexing the variable remuneration of company directors to extra-financial social and ecological performance criteria. A clear and common transformation path for all companies would benefit from being specified.
