Weltorganisationen, transnationale Unternehmen und die Diffusion von CSR

Chapter

Zusammenfassung

Die Idee der Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) verbreitet sich seit den 1990er Jahren zunehmend bei transnationalen Unternehmen. CSR ist ein offensichtlicher und globaler Trend geworden (Carroll 2008; Sahlin-Andersson 2005). Dieser äußert sich etwa in der Entwicklung von Verhaltenskodizes durch Unternehmen, die zunehmende Publikation von Nachhaltigkeitsberichten oder auch in der Beteiligung von Unternehmen an kollektiven CSR-Initiativen und Public Private Partnerships auf nationaler und globaler Ebene. Während Unternehmen in den 1990er Jahren zunächst begannen, Umweltberichte zu veröffentlichen, wurden ab Ende der 1990er Jahre zunehmend umfassendere Nachhaltigkeitsberichte publiziert, die auch breitere gesellschaftliche und soziale Aspekte der unternehmerischen Geschäftstätigkeit thematisierten (Kolk 2005).
