Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) - Sustainable and responsible business - Enterprise and Industry Corporate social responsibility (CSR) refers to companies taking responsibility for their impact on society. As evidence suggests, CSR is increasingly important to the competitiveness of enterprises. It can bring benefits in terms of risk management, cost savings, access to capital, customer relationships, human resource management, and innovation capacity. European Commission Strategy CSR is defined by the European Commission as "the responsibility of enterprises for their impacts on society" (COM (2011) 681 ).

Les cahiers de l’évaluation n°6 - DOSSIER : Notation = évaluation ? - Vol. 3, "La notation extra-financière" Le numéro 6 des Cahiers sur la notation extra-financière (ou notation éthique) s’inscrit dans une réflexion d’ensemble sur la notation vue comme un remède aux asymétries d’information fréquentes dans l’économie moderne. Notre vie quotidienne est de plus en plus imprégnée de ces mécanismes de notation (n°4, « De Michelin à eBay »). Ils pénètrent aussi la sphère du Business to Business, allant jusqu’à prendre une dimension systémique à l’échelle mondiale (n°5, « La notation financière ») et susciter un mouvement de régulation aux Etats-Unis et dans l’Union Européenne
Quelle politique gouvernementale sur la RSE ? - RSE - Politique développement durable Une politique « volontariste », « ambitieuse » en matière de RSE. C'est ainsi que le gouvernement qualifie sa stratégie nationale dans un document d'une trentaine de pages qui doit être transmis à la Commission européenne à la fin de l'année (voir encadré). L'avant-projet du Plan national d'actions prioritaires en faveur de la responsabilité sociétale () dévoilé ce 12 novembre recense pourtant surtout ce qui a déjà été fait et acté, du Grenelle à la conférence environnementale et la feuille de route qui en avait découlé sans donner trop de précisions stratégiques.
Corporate social responsibility The term "corporate social responsibility" became popular in the 1960s and has remained a term used indiscriminately by many to cover legal and moral responsibility more narrowly construed. Proponents argue that corporations increase long term profits by operating with a CSR perspective, while critics argue that CSR distracts from business' economic role. A 2000 study compared existing econometric studies of the relationship between social and financial performance, concluding that the contradictory results of previous studies reporting positive, negative, and neutral financial impact, were due to flawed empirical analysis and claimed when the study is properly specified, CSR has a neutral impact on financial outcomes.[5] Critics[6][7] questioned the "lofty" and sometimes "unrealistic expectations" in CSR.[8] or that CSR is merely window-dressing, or an attempt to pre-empt the role of governments as a watchdog over powerful multinational corporations.

rporate Social Responsibility does more harm than good The current period of financial turmoil has – as on previous occasions – led to considerable speculation and projection by nervous enterprise leaders, confused politicians and interested advocates as to the correct conduct and purpose of business. The last time this occurred was in response to the economic downturn of the early 1990s. This led, at the time, to the articulation of a presumed need for greater corporate social responsibility – or CSR – as articulated in the 1995 RSA Inquiry, ‘Tomorrow’s Company: the role of business in a changing world’. Notably though, many of the original sponsors and supporters of that endeavour – many of whom appeared to endorse what was to become the New Labour agenda of demanding more targets and procedural audits, as well as greater dialogue and inclusion – are no longer around. But maybe that is because being a good, responsible company that cares about people and the planet, as well a profits, was not what CSR was really about in the first place.
