| Abstract |
The concept of enterprise social responsibility (ESR) is drawing increasing interest. It consists of the manner in which enterprises integrate business performance with social and environmental considerations. It involves voluntary measures on the part of the enterprise, aimed at contributing towards sustainable development. This article includes a definition of ESR and the tools on which it is based (ethics, codes of conduct, management system standards, social responsibility relationships, socially-responsible investments), and discusses the responsibilities facing enterprises. It describes the objectives of the European Union in this area together with the efforts already under way. |
