Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is a difficult concept to define. However, its importance has grown over time, to the point where it has become a key concern for organisations. In 2011, the European Commission defined CSR as "the responsibility of enterprises for the effects they have on society". It specifies that "companies should have engaged, in close cooperation with their stakeholders, in a process designed to integrate social, environmental, ethical, human rights and consumer concerns into their core business activities and strategy". This concern has spread to all organisations.
However, there is a gap between the often positive, reassuring rhetoric and the necessary reality of the ecological transition. The many studies in the environmental sciences, in particular those of the IPCC experts on global warming, give a certain weight to the prospect of a collapse in the current functioning of our modes of production and distribution, as well as the social organisation associated with them.
Humanity is facing many complex challenges, such as socio-economic and health crises, climate change, social injustice, misinformation and so on. The Covid-19 pandemic has accelerated already latent transformations and vulnerabilities. It urges everyone to take on board the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) published by the UN. The aim is to maintain the conditions for a sustainable and better future for our planet.
This call for papers invites teachers, research professors and doctoral students, as well as economic players (CSR, IT, purchasing, HR, legal, innovation, marketing & communication, digital, etc.) to share their expertise and skills in addressing environmental challenges in their respective fields.
