Il caso LifeGate: Diffondere l’eco-cultura
No full textIl capitolo descrive i tratti distintivi del caso LifeGate Spa fondata nell'aprile del 2000 da Marco e Simona Roveda per rispondere a una sfida: diffondere attraverso l'informazione, la comunicazione, progetti imprenditoriali innovativi e, soprattutto, l'esempio concreto il messaggio della CSR.

No full textProporre uno schema interpretativo multi-dimensionale è l’obiettivo del presente volume, a partire da una chiara definizione del concetto di social entrepreneurship: un processo innovativo votato esplicitamente alla creazione di valore sociale, attraverso il miglioramento di una situazione di disequilibrio sociale, e intrapreso all’interno di un’organizzazione imprenditoriale designata a

di nuove social entrepreneurial venture, evidenziandone le principali criticità
Investigating the accountability dynamics underlying effective CSR disclosure
No full textNotwithstanding an increasing interest in business practice, the dynamics of effective nonfinancial disclosure implementation are still largely unexplored. CSR disclosure represents the knowledge base for stakeholders and results from a set of internal procedures by which companies are held accountable to them. How must the accountability process behind CSR disclosure be structured most effectively?
In addressing this research question, we propose an in-depth qualitative analysis of the evolution in the accountability practices of an exemplary case study. Evidence suggests how benefits from disclosure, in terms of improved CSP, are produced by integration of a corporate-wide orientation toward stakeholders into the whole set of accounting, auditing, and reporting procedures. By means of stakeholder empowerment throughout the accountability process, disclosure becomes a means toward leveraging relationships and supporting company-stakeholder reciprocal understanding
Strategizing corporate social responsibility: evidence from an Italian medium-sized, family-owned company
No full textCorporate social responsibility (CSR) is becoming a mainstream issue as both researchers and managers are realizing its importance, but knowledge gaps persist. In particular, the processes underlying the adoption of responsible managerial practices and the effects associated with them are still at the centre of intense debate. Not surprisingly, managers expect formalized procedures that might influence corporate managerial processes and especially corporate strategies. Given the growingemphasis on the integration of CSR into corporate strategy, the purpose of this qualitative study is to explore the antecedents of this process and the dynamics underlying it. We focus on a medium-sized, family-owned Italian company, SABAF SpA. We find that: the beliefs and value systems of entrepreneurs play a fundamental role in shaping a sustainable corporate strategy; the importance of the relationship between social performance and financial performance depends to some extent on the kind of competitive strategy that a company has selected; and people need to be aware of it – that is, CSR strategies must be explicit and codified into specific managerial procedures

La responsabilità sociale d'impresa: strategia per l'impresa relazionale e innovazione per la sostenibilità
No full textLa Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) è un concetto fortemente dibattuto e variamente definito. Nella prospettiva adottata in questo articolo la CSR è intesa come un nuovo approccio strategico alla gestione d’impresa, ossia come innovazione per la sostenibilità dell’azienda e dello stakeholder network in cui questa è inserita. Una tale impostazione cerca di cogliere le ampie e importanti implicazioni, a volte non pienamente comprese, che la responsabilità sociale ha per la teoria e la pratica d’impresa
Corporate Sustainability, Strategic Management and the Stakeholder View of the Firm. Guest Editorial
No full textThis special issue of Finanza, Marketing e Produzione is based on the Fifth Annual Colloquium of EABIS
(the European Academy of Business in Society), which was organized and hosted by EABIS Founding Partner
SDA Bocconi School of Management on September 11 and 12, 2006. More than 360 senior representatives
from 29 countries and different sectors (business, academia, policy-making, and civil society) attended the
conference.
This year’s focus was «Corporate Sustainability, Strategic Management and the Stakeholder View of the
Firm». The Colloquium was part of the EABIS-led «European Platform for Excellence in CSR Research
(CSR Platform)», funded by the European Commission’s Sixth Framework Programme for Research (FP6).
The purpose of the Colloquium was to explore ways to link corporate social responsibility (CSR) with
strategic management by proposing a strategic approach to stakeholder management. The main question that
the debate raised was,
«Is corporate responsibility simply an add-on policy, which does not affect the current behaviour of companies,
or is it an innovative approach toward management based on a systemic stakeholder view of the
firm and aimed at ensuring corporate sustainability?».
Our view is that, in the present economic, social, and institutional environment and more and more into
the future, the capacity of a firm to generate sustainable wealth over time is related to its relationships with
its entire stakeholder network. Therefore, the sustainability of a company depends on the sustainability of
its stakeholder relationships
