Social Responsibility: from the theory to the FENIX project

Abstract

Nowadays the corporate social responsibility (CSR) plays a fundamental role in our society: for the companies and the stakeholders is essential to implement the social responsibilities (SR) pillars to improve their reputation. However, the CSR implementation - as well as its evaluation - remains very difficult due to its sensitiveness and complexity. Indeed, its complexity cannot become an excuse: for the sake of the environment and of the whole society, the pillars of the SR must become common aspects to be considered and to be evaluated. Starting from this awareness, this paper aims to consider the CSR in literature and in a European project that does not have, as the main objective, the improvement of SR. Within this analysis it will be possible to understand if the SR pillars are already soaked in the pilots and the project activities or if a major commitment is still necessary.
