Outcomes
Corporate social responsibility has become a major concern of multinational corporations operating
throughout the world. Their commitment to ethical, social and governance issues (ESG) is under the scrutiny
of the firm's various stakeholders, such as governments, consumer associations, NGOs and communities.
Stakeholders consider organizations as accountable and exert pressure to obtain adequate responses to their
expectations and claims.
Moreover, the environmental crisis - climate change and resources scarcity - urges companies to decouple
the generation of richness from the use of resources and energy. Eco-efficiency, circular flows of resources
and shifting from products to sustainable service system will be presented and discussed as innovative way of
decoupling.
Finally, the social dimension of sustainable development calls from new business models accessible for
disadvantaged people so that they could solve their basics/development needs.
