The recent development of NGO-Firms relationships in France is putting the question of the efficiency of Non Governmental Organization (NGO) tackling CSR problems. Both collaborative and conflicting strategies from NGO with firms often have limited results in contrast to the narratives surrounding these partnerships. This article analyzes the influence of NGOs on the building of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) practices through a case study of a French retailer in the textile industry and its CSR project influenced by two NGOs. The limits of the NGO-Firm partnerships, often encouraged and financed by political institutions, are emphasized here: NGOs lack the resources to influence deeply and on a long term basis the behaviour of firm.
