    On December 12th 2015 a historical agreement was signed at the end of the COP21 conference hold in Paris. 195 countries agreed to limit the global warning below 2°C. To achieve this common goal, companies will have to put effort into resources management and change their way of doing business. New regulations, new expectations from customers, change of way of consumption will surely put pressure on companies to develop corporate social responsibilities (hereafter CSR) policies within the next years. Companies are composed of many stakeholders that has different roles and importance in the core activity. The purpose of this study is to understand the link between perceived corporate social responsibilities (hereafter PCSR) and employee organisational commitment (hereafter EOC). It is interesting to focus on the relationship between employees and companies, as researches on that relationship is rather scarce. According to previous researches, organisational commitment leads to greater performance among employees and lower stress (Kirkman & Shapiro, 2001)it might be a good idea to invest in CSR to increase profit. Many conclusions were drawn after having conducted an online survey among French employees. First, the link between PCSR and EOC appeared to be positively correlated. This link is highly influenced by the importance given to CSR by employees. It means that the more employees feel that CSR is something that companies should implement, the more they will positively value implemented CSR politics in their companies. The results showed also that there is a slight difference between men and women about the importance given to CSR. Women tend indeed to be more concerned by CSR than men. Furthermore, CSR politics towards employees have more influence on organisational commitment than politics towards environment or towards society.

    Key words: CSR, PCSR, EOC, French companies
