Abstract (German)

„Corporate Social Responsibility ist ein Konzept, das den Unternehmen als Grundlage dient, auf freiwilliger Basis soziale Belange und Umweltbelange in ihre Unternehmenstätigkeit und in die Wechselbeziehung mit ihren Stakeholdern zu integrieren. Sozial verantwortlich handeln heißt nicht nur, die gesetzlichen Bestimmungen einhalten, sondern über die bloße Gesetzeskonformität hinaus „mehr“ investieren in Humankapital, in die Umwelt und in die Beziehungen zu anderen Stakeholdern“ (Grünbuch der EU-Kommission, 2001). Um den Erfahrungsaustausch zwischen den EU Ländern im Politikfeld CSR zu unterstützten hat die DG Employment and Social Affairs im Herbst 2005 ein Forschungsprojekt zu „CSR Policies“ ausgeschrieben. Das Angebot des Research Institute for Managing Sustainability hat diese europaweite Ausschreibung gewonnen. Das Projekt läuft von Frühjahr 2006 bis Ende 2007. In folgenden drei thematischen Feldern sollen politische Initiativen der EU-Mitgliedstaaten Befragungen erhoben und in Fallstudien vertieft analysiert werden:
• Awareness raising for CSR (Bewusstseinsbildung und Öffentlichkeitsarbeit)
• CSR and public procurement (öffentliches Beschaffungswesen)
• Socially Responsible Investment/SRI (CSR und die Rolle von Kapitalmärkten, Banken und Fonds)
