Corporate Social Responsibility
The Social and Economic Council of the Netherlands (SER) uses the following definition for Corporate Social Responsibility:
‘CSR is the concern for the social impact of the company’s operations.’
The SER specifies it as follows:
- Deliberately focusing the business activities to create value in three dimensions - people, profit, planet - and therefore also contributing to longer-term prosperity and welfare in society;
- Maintaining relations with the various stakeholders on the basis of transparency and dialogue, answering justified questions that are raised in society.
