Unternehmensbürgschaft und Philantrophie

Mit Corporate Citizenship wird das bürgerschaftliche Engagement in und von Unternehmen bezeichnet. Die Basis bildet dabei eine mittel- und langfristige unternehmerische Strategie verantwortungsvollen Handelns, bei der sich die Unternehmen über die eigentliche Geschäftstätigkeit hinaus als „guter Bürger“ innerhalb und für die lokale Zivilgesellschaft engagieren. Bei diesem Engagement können sowohl ökologische als auch kulturelle Belange eine Rolle spielen. Das Engagement für das Gemeinwohl ist dabei heute nicht nur philanthropisch motiviert, sondern hat Unternehmens- und Gemeinwohlinteressen gleichermaßen im Blick. Beim Corporate Citizenship sollte es idealerweise darum gehen, eine Win-win-Situation zu erzielen, sodass sowohl das Unternehmen als auch die soziale Organisation und die Gesellschaft profitieren. Ursprünglich geprägt wurde diese Form des Managements im angelsächsischen Raum als Teil einer Public-Affairs-Strategie. more[...]

Prof. Dr. Pieter Glasbergen, Maastricht University
Boudewijn Derkx

There has been a surge in the popularity of the private standards-setting approach to social and environmental governance in recent decades. A single economic sector may now literally feature dozens of competing voluntary sustainability standards. Emerging gradually as a result of the uncoordinated efforts of various independently operating (coalitions of) actors, the rise of voluntary standards-setting has been largely spontaneous and unplanned. more[...]
