  • SHORT BREAKTHROUGHS: Digital Scorecards to Improve Sustainability

    SHORT BREAKTHROUGHS: Digital Scorecards to Improve Sustainability
    Jan 22 2026
    What if we put standardized barcodes on products we buy which inform us of their sustainability, supply chain, human rights records, etc? That’s the proposal of HEC & CNRS researcher Brian Hill. In his recent policy paper, he maps out an efficient way of shifting disclosure rules from companies to products - in the name of sustainability. This is a timely exchange, coming as it does as Europe reached an agreement last month to simplify sustainability reporting and due diligence requirements. Could Brian's digital, standardized scorecard be the key to filling in information and data gaps in this drive for smart product-level disclosure Europe should be aiming for? This ten-minute compact version of our monthly podcast discusses the essential points of his breakthrough research.

  • Private Gaza Humanitarian Foundation Challenges UN Bodies and International Law

    Private Gaza Humanitarian Foundation Challenges UN Bodies and International Law
    Nov 25 2025
    When the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (the GHF) began operating in late May 2025, much public debate centered on its immediate humanitarian record: the shootings, the chaos near distribution sites, the opaque role of private security companies. But what of the GHF’s impact on international law and conventions, core obligations of an occupying power and very notion of politicizing humanitarian aid? HEC Assistant Professor of Law Julia Emtseva explores these issues as part of her research into private actors in international law and transitional justice. We also hear the opinions of HEC students on these questions.

  • SHORT BREAKTHROUGHS: Crisis Partnerships: Genuine Change or Corporate Spin?

    SHORT BREAKTHROUGHS: Crisis Partnerships: Genuine Change or Corporate Spin?
    Sep 25 2025
    Short of time? Here's an abridged version of the Breakthroughs podcast exchange with HEC strategy professor Aline Gatignon. Her research focuses on the ripple effect of corruption, tracking how scandals reshape cross-sector partnerships between nonprofits and multinationals. The lessons are urgent for any leader whose organization touches public trust, whether in emerging markets or in Western capitals. Often, multinationals turn to nonprofits in times of crisis, funding environmental or social causes to show they’re part of the solution. But are these partnerships real, or just spin? Hear more from Aline as she gives advice to both parties on how to work together. Her research is a story about power, legitimacy, and the resilience of civil society.

    Crisis Partnerships: Genuine Change or Corporate Spin?
    Sep 10 2025
    When a corporate scandal explodes, like Volkswagen’s Dieselgate or BP’s oil spill, companies scramble to save their reputations. Often, they turn to nonprofits, funding environmental or social causes to show they’re part of the solution. But are these partnerships real, or just spin? Strategy professor Aline Gatignon suggests answers. Her new study uncovers how crises change the way corporations and nonprofits work together - and how nonprofits sometimes resist being used as PR cover. Her research is a story about power, legitimacy, and the resilience of civil society.
