Warning about the inclusion of economic concept of enterprise starting from the 2017 ÉSANE results : since the year 2017, data from the ÉSANE system are fully produced and disseminated according to the economic definition of the enterprise, as specified by decree number 2008-1354 pursuant to the law on the modernisation of the economy (LME). For further details, please refer to the documentation on the subject.

Warning about employment data in the 2020 ÉSANE results : employment data disseminated in the 2020 ÉSANE results now draw on the Registered Social Declaration (DSN). Thus, ESANE employment statistics are now more robust and more consistent with other Insee-produced employment data. For further details, please refer to the documentation on the 2020 Esane Insee results.
