“…Additionally, on the basis of the experiences of large firms, such as Google, good employee relations may be important in attracting new staff [37]. Smith [32] maintains that an explicit statement of EEO policies has additional benefits for enterprises, as they provide the opportunity to recruit and retain the most talented employees with a competitive advantage over other companies.…”

Our paper analyses the link between the adoption of corporate social responsibility (CSR) and competitiveness performance among small and medium enterprises operating in the fashion industry. The study refers to a sample of 213 SMEs (Small and Medium sized Enterprises) located in Italy and France and is based on a correlation analysis between competitiveness variables and the CSR practice adopted. The results show a significant correlation with regard to the innovation process, both from the technical and the organizational point of view, and the intangible performances. On the other hand, another competitiveness macro-category, which is the market performance (measured as demand trend, turnover and business attraction), presents deceptive results, although a positive correlation with the adoption of market-oriented CSR practice emerges. The study is explorative and represents a relevant basis to future studies concerning the nature of the emerged co-relations.

Abstract:ost companies in the implementation of social responsibility using a number of the company's budget for pro-social activities and philanthropy. Cited from some previous research that factors are more expressed in CSRD (Corporate Social Responsibility Disclosure) is human resources and community involvement while Environmental disclosure still require more attention. Not concern in environmental issues will threat the sustainability of the environmental and community life itself. Some economists realized that the quality of the environment has an inverse relationship (trade-off), which means that efforts to accelerate economic growth will be followed by the environmental damage due to the depletion of natural resources and environmental degradation. The level of public awareness and businesses respond to the needs of nature conservation with an efficient use of resources is still very varied across the country. It is believed to be due to differences in the level of competitiveness across countries. The level of competitiveness is associated with innovation, skills (Fagerberg, 1996) and technology (Eisdofer and Hsu, 2011). Developed countries have a higher level of competitiveness compared with developing countries and some research suggests the implementation of CSR in developed countries is better when compared to developing countries. Companies are operating in the hightech industry has the opportunity to become the market leader, but this does not guarantee a high quality of CSR activities in that countries. To date, there has not been much research on measuring the quality of CSR. This study offers a measurement of the National CSR Index Quality for mining and metal sector. Researchers considered that the measure of quality for each business sector is not the same. This study uses content analysis of the aspects listed companies based on the quality criteria set out in this study.

ResumenTras constatar el hecho de la recurrencia de las crisis y los ciclos económicos y de explicitar las causas determinantes de la que venimos viviendo desde el año 2007, se lleva la reflexión hacia el concepto de RSE, tratando de revisar crítica-mente algunas de las aproximaciones más habituales desde el punto de vista teó-rico. La conexión con ciertas aproximaciones institucionales llevadas a efecto en los últimos tiempos, es aprovechada para apostar por un concepto de RSE alineado con una aproximación moral a la misma. Se aboga por un enfoque estratégico de la RSE que la conecte con la razón profunda de ser de la empresa, con su auténtica misión y fin objetivo. Esta perspectiva teleológica remite al marco que aporta la ética de la virtud, por entender que desde dicho enfoque es desde donde se podrá estar en condiciones de hacer que los valores morales de la RSE se consoliden en aras del 1 jlfernández@cee.upcomillas.es
