Businesses fail in the absence of an engagement strategy with stakeholders who influence and are influenced by a company’s business activity in communities where the company has a presence. A lack of understanding of the interdependency implicit in the company/community relationship, and the absence of new frameworks to encourage collaboration, has led increasingly to an inability to resolve conflicting views. An evolving approach is business participation in multisector collaborative watershed initiative partnerships. This qualitative multiple case study examines the perspectives of 22 participants of two watershed partnerships relating to corporate social responsibility (CSR), the Triple Bottom Line of sustainable development (TBL), and shared value. The study’s theoretical framework focuses on stakeholder theory integrated with the corporate imperatives of CSR, the TBL, and shared value. The research question is how these constructs might define an unexplored community engagement framework between the company, the community, and watershed initiatives. The research data suggests these factors are interrelated, and, when integrated into a strategy, define a Sustainable Community Engagement Framework that redefines the business case for engaging stakeholders to help resolve often conflicting views relating to the company’s business activity. The study outcomes are particularly relevant to academics, practitioners, business managers, and consultants engaged with high profile organizations such as chemical, petroleum and utility businesses whose presence may generate community concerns about their business activities, especially their environmental footprint.

A Current

Corporate social responsibility (CSR) is a current important strategy in organizations today. Numerous factors that affect the global functioning of organizations have determined the need to incorporate a look towards sustainable development. This implies considering the integration of not only economic, but also social and environmental concerns in the day-to-day of the companies. We move, therefore, under the perspective of the Triple Bottom Line. In addition, the exercise of CSR will motivate the achievement of competitive advantages for organizations. Given this, this article seeks to analyze the numerous benefits derived from the implementation of socially responsible actions in companies. These are structured from different organizational approaches: personal sphere, organizational field, personal and organizational fields and financial area. Together with them, the implementation of the CSR may entail the need to incur certain costs, which are also referred to in the study. Finally, we propose some future lines of research

PurposeThis study aims to analyze corporate social responsibility (CSR) programs in tourism as a tool for sustainable development in the CSR program of a multinational enterprise in Turkey.Design/methodology/approachThis study includes qualitative research on a single company, content analysis of company-originated documents, participant observations, questionnaires for tourism project coordinators and follow-up interviews with company directors and project managers.FindingsThe paper identifies immediate context variables, program management, the complementary nature of interests and the diverse capabilities of the partners and an ongoing evaluation process as the determining factors for creating shared value for CSR programs in tourism.Research limitations/implicationsDespite the challenges of impact assessment and measurement of long-term effects, the study proposes a systematic framework for evaluating shared value creation generated by CSR activity.Practical implicationsThe evaluation methodology introduced in this research will be of use to CSR program developers in interpreting and reporting on the anticipated outcomes and impacts of their interventions in sustainable tourism development.Social implicationsA lack of outcome evaluation and impact assessment may affect accountability and, hence, the legitimacy of CSR programs. This study attempts to mitigate that limitation by introducing a novel methodology.Originality/valueThe value of CSR in tourism is a highly contested issue, despite its high potential for contributing to sustainable development. This longitudinal research goes beyond presenting immediate outputs of a CSR program in sustainable tourism; it discusses intermediate outcomes in the form of capitals, community well-being and shared value for society at large.

<p><em>The purpose of this research is to deconstruct the concept of corporate social responsibility that has failed in practice. Because there are still many tendency of company practices that only have the character of ceremonial course and aim to abort the obligation and the emergence of environmental destruction practices by companies that have implemented corporate social responsibility. This research used the concept khalifatullahufilardl, in Islam it is meansthathe human function on earth as the ruler of the universe. By deconstructing the concept of corporate social responsibility that only refers to the singgle bottom line that focus on God SWT as stakeholders, the concept khalifatullahufilardl can be applied in changing the paradigm of corporate social responsibility so that ultimately the practice of corporate social responsibility will be more aware on sustainable development and ultimately can increase corporate profits that will have an impact on increasing mutual prosperity (between companies and surrounding communities<strong>.</strong></em></p><p><em><strong></strong></em><strong><em></em></strong><em>corporate social responsibility, khalifatullahufilardl, ruler of the universe</em></p>

Economic think tanks predict India to be the world's largest economy by 2050. This would require India to accelerate its industrial and infrastructure development. Industrialization based economic development will have a negative impact on the environment and hence sustainable development. Such steps could affect the social and environmental bottom line of the national economy. In recent years, a number of regulatory measures have been proposed by the Indian government to ensure corporate support to the goals of sustainable and inclusive development. The objective of these regulations is to achieve triple bottom line based growth. Notable among them is the mandatory Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) guidelines for public sector undertakings, first issued in April, 2010. I study the possibility and problems created by this effort by analyzing the policy documents and interviewing managers responsible for implementing CSR programmers in Indian public sector. Managers interviewed came from hydropower, coal, power distribution and shipping industries. Based on the study, four areas are identified that requires attention for effective linking between sustainable development and CSR; stakeholder engagement, institutional mechanisms, capacity building and knowledge management. Both government-public sector and public sector-community engagements have to be more streamlined. Institutional mechanisms have to be developed to see that CSR projects are effective and delivering. Importantly, managers at all levels need a better understanding of CSR and sustainable development. Since most projects are in rural areas, understanding of rural issues and sustainability is very important. Finally, such a large scale exercise in CSR should have a knowledge management mechanism to learn from the achievements and mistakes of the early years. I discuss the implication of the findings on India and other emerging economies many of which are struggling to balance growth and inclusive development. I conclude that the mandatory CSR guidelines for Indian public sector has the potential of achieving sustainable development only if early action is taken on the identified areas.

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR ) telah menjadi bagian yang integral dalam industri bisnis saat ini. Paradigma CSR pun telah berubah, perusahaan harus berusaha mengimplementasikan CSR dengan pendekatan Sustainable Development Goals (SDG’s)“ pada visi businessnya. Prinsip yang dikandung dalam Sustainaible Development pada intinya adalah perusahaan tidak hanya memperhatikan keuntungan perusahaan semata dengan cara menjaga reputasi, corporate image atau meningkatkan market share namun juga harus mengembangkan proses pembangunan tanpa mengorbankan pemenuhan kebutuhan generasi yang akan datang. Oleh karena itu SDG’s melibatkan 3 pilar atau yang dikenal dengan “Triple Bottom Line “ yakni pertama meminimalisir kerushakan lingkungan; Kedua , memberikan manfaat kepada masyarakat dimana organisasi berada; Ketiga, memberikan “economic value” bagi perushaan. Untuk menjalankan prinsip program CSR dengan prinsip SDG’s ini memerlukan partisipasi dari perusahaan maupun masyarakat , maka untuk membantu mengatasi solusi ini diperlukan pendekatan komunikasi partisipatif dalam pelaksanaan program CSR. Makalah ini mengindikasikan bahwa untuk mendorong perubahan perilaku kebiasaan masyarakat sehari-hari atau meningkatkan kesadaran masyarakat tidak cukup hanya melalui pengembangan komunikasi partisipatif , namun diperlukan pula program yang berkesinambungan dengan melakukan mentoring dan berbagi pengetahuan untuk memperkuat sikap dan perilaku terhadap kesehatan dan gizi serta kebersihan.

The Impact

‘The company level’ looks at the practice of corporate social responsibility (CSR), within companies. It considers four frameworks that companies use to identify and manage their responsibilities: Carroll’s CSR pyramid, the stakeholder model, the triple bottom line approach, and the shared value approach. It then looks at the practices companies engage in, which are distinguished by their respective spheres: community, workplace, marketplace, and environment. The issues of internal organization and integration of CSR are critical to the performance and impact of companies adopting CSR. But how do CSR companies assess and understand the impact of their CSR contributions? The growth of intra-organizational CSR staff indicates a need for appropriately prepared personnel.
