Strategies for promoting CSR
? ? ? ? ? ? ?
Promotion of ‘CSR-friendly’ social dialogue Rethinking the governance Enabling the actors to play their role Promoting the internal as well as external aspects of CSR Intensifying the dialogue Fostering CSR among SMEs Promoting CSR as a tool to anticipate change
‘CSR-friendly’ social dialogue
? ? ? ?
Foundation research suggests that CSR can only exist in conjunction with a strong social dialogue It is not easy for the traditional players in social dialogue to practice CSR Incorporation of CSR into the agenda of in-house social dialogue is still minimal Many information/consulting procedures ignore it or deal with it at minimal level
Barriers to CSR friendly social
? ?
Decentralized production networks, Recurrent restructuring ,mergers & acquisitions makes it difficult for company boundaries to coincide with the boundaries of social dialogue
How can information on CSR be promoted so that the existing social dialogue can expand to include these new dimensions?
Options in Social Dialogue
?
? ?
Dialogue with other stakeholders can be developed in parallel to the social dialogue and bridges built between them with the help of the binary model of social dialogue Employees can act as representatives to build the bridge between stakeholder. Challenge lies in expanding social dialogue without weakening the traditional social dialogue
Rethinking the Governance
?
?
?
?
Governance is designing and implementing rules, processes and practices In relation to CSR governance is at two levels: ? Company and ? Society At the Company level it means taking on board a diversity of stakeholders and multitude of expectations Taking these considerations &organizing necessary processes and making tradeoffs between the different expectations
Rethinking the Governance
?
?
?
However the management receives primary mandate from stockholders Question is whether the executives receive a real ‘social mandate’ which allows them to commit to other stakeholders Applying CSR may also affect the way governance is exercised in society
Enabling the actors to play their role
? ?
?
Skills & tools are important to allow stakeholders to play their role properly Today the acquisition of these skills by stakeholders and the development of these tools is not sufficient to allow them to act efficiently Ex.: Civil Society has difficulties in playing its role because
? ?
The actors & their expectations are not clearly identified The members do not have the necessary skills and resources to act properly
Enabling the actors to play their role
?
?
Initiatives already existing which can help actors both inside & outside the company should be reinforced Ex: Helping stakeholders to be more structured & professional thereby increasing efficiency
?
Creating appropriate institutional frameworks which permit stakeholders to meet & discuss CSR
Promoting the internal as well as external aspects of CSR
?
External aspect of CSR is important and tends to get a lot of attention
Internal aspect also important In an economy of decentralized production and networking it is important to look at issues of
? ? ?
? ?
Job quality, health & safety provisions, Working conditions of employees of subcontracting companies play a major role in CSR policies
Intensifying Dialogue
? ? ?
?
?
Active dialogue among stakeholders : crucial for success of CSR Research: Companies have interest of enlarging the focus to other stakeholder & not just consumers New way of business: Based on management and dialogue with stakeholders Trust , transparency, internal & external audit can create and foster successful dialogue & sustainable corporate governance Local municipalities and governments have an important role to play in facilitating partnerships
Fostering CSR among SMEs
?
?
?
Smaller companies have little knowledge of what is CSR They do not possess the human & financial resources when it comes to developing tools for reporting CSR Moreover companies employing subcontractors can have a strong influence on their suppliers by compelling them to standardize & label their practices in the areas of quality, safety and the environment.
Promoting CSR as a tool to anticipate change
? ?
?
?
Pro-active, prevention approach to restructuring can be beneficial to all stakeholders Practices positioned in advance of restructuring can prepare employees to anticipate & prepare for the coming change Relevant prior information & consultation with parties involved are prerequisites for socially successful restructuring It raises the question of how far socially responsible companies should commit themselves to that approach and which priorities could be used in this approach
