“…For that reason, corporate giving is a subset of a much broader concept of CSR (Kabongo, 2013). However, there are few conceptual links between corporate philanthropy and CSR in the abundant literature on CSR, and this should be a future research on these concepts (Gautier and Pache, 2015).…”

Purpose -This paper aims to examine whether companies engaging in corporate philanthropy, a component of corporate social responsibility (CSR), disclose information about such activities publicly on their websites, analyze whether there is a relation between the kind of charitable giving (in-kind donations or financial gifts), the number of donation types, or the industry sector the company belongs to, the mention on the company website and whether there is a relation between communicate company corporate philanthropy and communicate other company CSR issues.Design/methodology/approach -The research methodology was descriptive statistics research method. The data were collected during the months of June and July 2013 from the websites of 141 companies that had recently engaged in corporate philanthropy.Findings -The study found that, surprisingly, a considerable portion of companies practicing corporate philanthropy do not disclose that information on their websites. This was especially the case when donations were made with product instead of in cash.Originality/value -This study quantifies the fact that many companies engage in CSR through corporate philanthropy but do not communicate those activities to a wider public. This can be seen as a missed opportunity to take advantage of a variety of positive effects that companies related to CSR benefit from. On the other hand, it can also be interpreted as a missed opportunity for the NGOs to encourage their donors to "come out" with their philanthropic activities.

“…SME ranks as more important stakeholders, regulatory authorities, and shareholders than local community groups or environmental organizations, but with regard to environmental issues, differently than large companies, they attach greater relative importance to suppliers than to final consumers and owners; SMEs frequently engage and cooperate with nongovernmental organizations (Harangozó and Zilahy, 2015 However, to Aguinis and Glavas (2013), philanthropy, volunteering, and so on, belong to the peripheral CSR activities and not to embedded ones, so they do not form an integral part of socially responsible strategy, whereas Gautier and Pache (2015) state that "we still lack a clear understanding of the array of available giving strategies, whether connected to the core strategy or not" (pp.362-363).…”

Abstract:The purpose of this paper is to present a basic compendium of how companies can integrate social responsibility into their strategies. The paper analyzes and synthesizes ideas and proposals based on the literature review from different fields. It proposes a practical approach that does not highlight the differences but the positive and mutual synergy of social responsibility with firm's strategy. There are many practical proposals in the literature and a lot of successful examples from business practice that show how organizations can or have made the implementation of social responsibility into their strategy to work efficiently, but their strategic, social, and environmental importance differs and is limited by many factors. The paper presents different means of connecting social responsibility with organizational strategy to make it work, which can be useful for practitioners, students, and wider public. The paper adds the praxiological or practical perspective to deal with a small but persisting organizational problem and a great social expectation, how to link efficiently social responsibility with organizational strategy into one coherent stream of purposes.

“…А. Готье и А. Паше [Gautier, Pache, 2013], проанализировав 162 работы по корпоративной филантропии за 30 лет, установили, что определение понятия корпоративной филантропии встречалось лишь в 17% из них. В этих работах авторы используют преимущественно описательные и технические определения, определение Федеральной службы финансовой отчетности США: «Корпоративная филантропия -это добровольная и невзаимовыгодная передача финансовых средств или других ресурсов от одной организации другой организации или обществу без возникновения обязательств у принимающей стороны перед передающей стороной» [FASB, 1993: 6].…”
