Workshop:     Corporate Social Responsibility and Sustainable Development

 

Chair: Rodica Melina Zaharia

 

The World Business Council for sustainable development states, “Corporates’ social responsibility is the continuing commitment by business to behave ethically and contribute to economic development while improving the quality of life of the workforce and their families as well as of the local community and society at large.” Thus, Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is part of the process of development, and businesses are organizations that have to be seen as partners in their communities and not only as profit centers, promoting the interest of their shareholders but having obligation towards various stakeholders.

 

Under these circumstances, several questions arise: what kinds of relationships do connect corporate social responsibility and sustainable development? What role should and can national institution play in sustaining sustainable development and firm efficiency? What kind of partnerships should be developed between business and different categories of stakeholders to address efficiently to companies as well as to community needs?

 

This workshop intends to explore the possible answers to these questions and even further then them. Papers that come up to various aspects regarding these questions, original research and interdisciplinary approaches are welcome.
