Description
Summary:Corporate Social Responsibility is a central issue in modern business and a main factor of companies’ strategies for competitiveness in a global economy. The recent approval of ISO 26000 shows this general tendency to introduce social and environmental principles in global governance and organizational behaviour in all kinds of firms, organizations and multinational corporations. This paper offers a critical approach to the effects of ISO 26000 in the small and medium companies, and cooperatives, too. This norm is not focussed on the particularities of this kind of companies and shows some problems when implementing it in SME & social economy organizations. The question which comes up is if there is a necessity to adapt the implementation of ISO 26000 to these particular firms: in which cases and to what limits.
