Guidance on corporate social responsibility

摘要

CORPORATE social responsibility is a new and inspiring development that is a "hot topic" in society and business today, and that has a strong relationship with safety and health at work, says a new report by the European Agency for Safety and Health at Work. CSR has been defined by the European Commission as "the integration by companies of social and environmental concerns in their business operations, and in their interaction with stakeholders on a voluntary basis". At company level, safety and health at work issues always find their place within CSR, says the report, and companies recognise that they cannot be good externally, while having a poor social performance internally.
