" The transition towards sustainable development not only requires the mobilization of the necessary technical, legal and financial means and mechanisms, but rather a fundamental shift in the methods and approaches of our thinking and our action. This desired transformation will not be possible without optimal investment in the field of human and social resources."
"There are many CSR benefits: (1) philanthropically focused, more associated with financial aid and charity than a long-term development plan of host communities; (2) initiatives responding to community-based crisis and social protests."
“CSR is increasingly becoming widespread and important in both business and practice, as well as in academic and empirical work. CSR is the voluntary integration by companies of social and environmental concerns into their business activities and their relations with stakeholders.”
