This book explores the current state of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) in 24 European nations, examining the state of the development and practice of CSR and sustainability for organizations in these countries. The common denominator for all of the book’s 25 chapters is a management perspective rather than an ethical discourse. The book therefore represents a comprehensive survey of initiatives and activities in the field of CSR and provides a wealth of complete cases and examples for different approaches to sustainable and responsible management practice. The book also reviews the relevant political and governmental guidelines and frameworks for organizations, both on a national and a European level. Europe has taken a leading role in the promotion and implementation of CSR. This book showcases how, through CSR, enterprises can significantly contribute to achieving the European Union’s treaty objectives of sustainable development and a highly competitive social market economy.

Seminar paper from the year 2010 in the subject Business economics - Economic Policy, grade: 1,7, Free University of Berlin (Management), course: Corporate Governance and Corporate Social Responsibility - An International Comparison, language: English, abstract: Nowadays the power and impact of big organizations has reached a new peak. Corporations are among the world's most powerful and dominant institutions. In some cases they are even surpassing the revenue-producing ability of small governments. In contrast to this economic success, globally acting companies are often accused of social and ecological misbehavior. Nevertheless, revealed affairs like the Nike-case have increased the awareness of customers, governmental organizations, trade unions and other stakeholders. For this reason during the past decades, the construct of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has gained growing attention, in both political and academic ways. While the image of socially contributing companies, acting beyond their legal duties and obligations, has a longer and more intensive history in the Anglo-Saxon countries and particularly in the United States, the concept is less implemented in central Europe. This is often explained by the fact that in these states many environmental and social responsibilities of companies are defined by laws, which are optional in Anglo-Saxon countries. These cross-national differences shall be outlined and critically analyzed within this paper, by comparing the CSR practices of Germany and the USA. Furthermore the question shall be answered to which extend the institutional background of corporations can shape their behavior and finally lead to a high or weak adoption of corporate social practices.

Inhaltsangabe:Einleitung: Die vorliegende Arbeit befasst sich mit dem Thema der Global Corporate Citizenship. Im Zentrum der Überlegungen steht die Frage, wie Unternehmen durch die freiwillige Übernahme einer bürgerschaftlichen Verantwortung erfolgreich wirtschaften, den sich wandelnden Anforderungen von Politik und Gesellschaft gerecht werden und dem kapitalistischen Wirtschaftsmodell in Zeiten einer energischen Globalisierungsdynamik die gewünschte Nachhaltigkeit und somit Existenzberechtigung verleihen können. Der weltumspannende Handel ist natürlich kein neuzeitliches Phänomen. Allerdings beinhalten der rasante Anstieg länderübergreifender Güter-, Geld-, Informations- und Menschenströme sowie die hohe Geschwindigkeit, mit welcher sich vormals wirtschaftlich unbedeutende Staaten an das Wirtschaftssystem ankoppeln, ein enormes Konfliktpotenzial. Einem steigenden Lebensstandard auf der einen Seite stehen nicht selten soziale Ausbeutung und ökologisches Missmanagement gegenüber, welche in der Regel von Unternehmen getrieben und der Politik geduldet werden. Die sich weltweit öffnenden Märkte erhöhen darüber hinaus zusehends den Konkurrenzdruck und unterspülen die etablierten Sozialsysteme. Im Gegensatz dazu wird seitens der Politik und der Gesellschaft aber auch gleichzeitig eine neue Balance zwischen ökonomischen, ökologischen und sozialen Grundwerten gefordert. Die Unternehmen sollen in diesem Zuge aktiv an der Lösung der drängenden Probleme beteiligt werden. Diese Widersprüche aufzulösen ist auch Teil der Global Corporate Citizenship-Diskussion. Die negativen Auswüchse des ungelenkten Kapitalismus sollen im Zaum gehalten und die Chancen einer globalisierten Wirtschaft so umfassend wie möglich genutzt werden. Die Ausarbeitung beschäftigt sich daher mit den Möglichkeiten, wie national und international operierende Unternehmen künftig ihre Rolle als verantwortungsbewusste Bürger verstehen, und somit zu einer umfassenden Wohlfahrtssteigerung beitragen können. Gang der Untersuchung: Zu Beginn dieser Arbeit wird eine Grundlage geschaffen, indem gängige Definitionen zum Thema Global Corporate Citizenship diskutiert und abgegrenzt werden. Darauf aufbauend werden der Begriff der Stakeholder näher differenziert und einzelbetriebliche Effekte beleuchtet, welche durch eine erfolgreiche Implementierung einer Global Corporate Citizenship-Strategie entstehen können. Im weiteren Verlauf werden der Bedeutungsgewinn von Unternehmen untersucht und eine [...]

Diplomarbeit aus dem Jahr 2007 im Fachbereich Politik - Politische Systeme - Allgemeines und Vergleiche, Note: 1,0, Universität Passau, 196 Quellen im Literaturverzeichnis, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Explanandum der vorliegenden Arbeit ist das normative Verständnis sowie die konkrete Umsetzung von Corporate Social Responsibility in Deutschland und Frankreich. Das Konzept, das ursprünglich aus den USA stammt, wird erst seit einigen Jahren in Europa bewusst angewandt. Die beiden Länder befinden sich dabei in unterschiedlichen Entwicklungsstadien. Zudem wurde die Grundidee den politischen, ökonomischen und soziokulturellen Eigenheiten der beiden Staaten angepasst und es entstanden so leicht abgeänderte, nationalspezifische Konzepte. Aufbauend auf theoretischen und philosophischen Grundlagen der Corporate Social Reponsibility, soll die Arbeit zeigen, worin die Unterschiede und Gemeinsamkeiten unternehmerischer Verantwortung in Deutschland und Frankreich bestehen. Da diese nur vor dem Hintergrund des spezifischen Staatsverständnisses sowie des jeweiligen Wirtschafts- und Sozialmodells der beiden Länder zu verstehen sind, werden in der Analyse Erklärungsansätze auf Basis der politischen, wirtschaftlichen und soziokulturellen Merkmale der beiden Staaten geliefert. Als wissenschaftliche Vorgehensweise wurde die Methode des Vergleichs gewählt. Dabei wurde primär ein makro-qualitativer Ansatz verfolgt, d.h. die Länder werden auf der Ebene des Gesamtsystems hinsichtlich ihres Engagements und normativen Verständnisses in Bezug auf Corporate Social Responsibility untersucht. Aber auch quantitative Elemente, wie Daten aus Umfragen, Positionierungen der Unternehmen in Ratings oder Anzahl der veröffentlichten CSR-Berichte werden in die Analyse integriert, um einen konkreten Vergleich des Standes von CSR zu ermöglichen.

Providing a timely contribution to the ongoing questions surrounding topics which are by definition subject to varying stakeholder interpretations, this book addresses “the missing link” between theoretical CSR concepts and everyday management practice. It acts as a guide to awaken managers to the advantages of adopting a CSR “mindset” when developing sustainable business strategies. The book consists of three parts: 1) A theoretical realm which establishes the key concepts and rationale for the adoption of a sustainable CSR approach, 2) A practical realm which addresses putting CSR and sustainability into business practice, 3) An educational realm which proposes how to incorporate the concepts into teaching and training.

Sustainable Entrepreneurship stands for a business driven concept of sustainability which focusses on increasing both social as well as business value - so called Shared Value. This book shows why and how this unique concept has the potential to become the most recognised strategic management approach in our times. It aims to point out the opportunities that arise from putting sustainable entrepreneurship into practice. At the same time, this book is a wake-up call for all those companies and decision makers who underestimated Sustainable Entrepreneurship before or who are simply not aware of its greater dimension. Well structured chapters from different academic and business perspectives clearly outline how Sustainable Entrepreneurship contributes to solving the world's most challenging problems, such as Climate Change, Finance Crisis and Political Uncertainty, as well as to ensuring business success. The book provides a framework of orientation where the journey might go: What can a successful concept of SE look like? What are the key drivers for its realisation? What is the role of business in shaping the future of our society? The book also presents best practices and provides unique learnings as well as business insights from the international Sustainable Entrepreneurship Award (www.se-award.org). The Sustainable Entrepreneurship Award (short SEA) is an award for companies today who are thinking about tomorrow by making sustainable business practices an integral part of their corporate culture. Companies that receive the SEA are being recognised for the vision they have shown in combining economic and sustainable responsibility.

More recent incidents and scandals such as Sweatshops by different sports equipment and electronic devices producers and finally the financial crisis which made the headlines among many others, which did not make it to the front page, have forced companies to consider CSR way more than in the past. But also other issues such as climate change and global warming, human rights situation and terrorism affect how companies conduct their strategies and operational practices today. Almost every large corporation in the western world makes some effort to communicate how it is committed to social issues that lie beyond its basic profit objectives – even in controversial industries such as the tobacco and petroleum industry. The industries claim to produce healthier food more fuel-efficient vehicles, conserve energy and other resources in their operations to make the world a better place. CSR often begins to be wishful thinking to hide the true face of a business. Doubtless what has come to be called responsibility of companies for ecological and social issues besides economic issues is now a sales and branding instrument for many companies. Hence, numerous other companies, also small and medium sized companies are currently asking themselves the questions: Shall we also invest in CSR initiatives? Why should we do that – just to do something? Is this still an instrument to gain a competitive advantage? Especially the last question implies the question, if consumers still believe in the basic idea of CSR initiatives, or with the overload of CSR initiatives, if they even show reactance and mistrust against such issues.

Corporate social responsibility (CSR) is a topical issue in many countries. What are the drivers for the global spread of explicit CSR – practices that are demonstrated to the outside – even in countries where companies had addressed CSR implicitly? What catalyzes organizations to adopt CSR and how does their adoption influence other companies’ likelihood to adopt CSR? This book approaches the recent world-wide adoption of CSR practices as part of the global spread of management concepts. The trend to adopt CSR is examined among Japanese companies, because they have rapidly adopted CSR practices in the last two decades. Existing empirical research on CSR in Japan that has focused mainly on anecdotal evidence on a small number of outstanding companies is extended by employing both qualitative and quantitative empirical research methods. Analyzing drivers for the adoption of CSR practices, organizational characteristics of adopting companies, and how increasing adoption influences the likelihood to adopt provides insights into how Japanese institutions and stakeholders facilitated rapid CSR adoption and the process of CSR diffusion.
