Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)
Corporations acting on the global market today are expected to take ethical, social and environmental responsibility for how products and services influence society. However, the high demands on competitiveness, production efficiency and profit remain.
The business climate demands corporations to combine profitability and a sustainable development. The development has brought a new focus on corporate social responsibility (CSR), a concept of increasing importance for global politics and corporations.
CSR applies to everything from human rights to environmental care. The term is steadily gaining in importance and is now a regular item on the agendas of major corporations.
The UN and the EU have formulated guidelines in this field, and the European Commission defines CSR as a concept whereby companies integrate social and environmental concerns in their business operations and in their interaction with their stakeholders on a voluntary basis.
