Abstract
Green and lean management is one of the higher challenges that today’s organizations are facing. However, and in order to better answer to these new challenges and develop new ways of management , organizations need to develop new ways of thinking as well as be more responsible in the society and environment where they are present. Taking into account the importance that the concept of social responsibility assumes in organizations, this present chapter looks to study the way in which corporate social responsibility is implemented in organizations, with a special emphasis to SMEs, in order to develop the green and lean management philosophy.
