Zusammenfassung

Corporate Social Responsibility beschreibt die Verantwortung der Wirtschaft gegenüber der Gesellschaft und umfasst das freiwillige unternehmerische Handeln zur Verbesserung der Bereiche Soziales und Umwelt (Aguilera et al., Academy of management review 32:836–863, 2007). Die unternommenen Aktivitäten bezeichnen Crane und Matten (Business ethics: A European perspective, Oxford University Press, 2004) als Corporate Social Performance, die sich in sozialpolitischen Maßnahmen, in Sozialprogrammen und in den sozialen Auswirkungen widerspiegeln. Das CSR- oder Nachhaltigkeitsreporting beschreibt die unternehmerische Berichterstattung der Nachhaltigkeitsaktivitäten, ausgedrückt durch nicht-finanzielle Kennzahlen, mit dem Ziel der Deckung des Informationsbedarfs der Interessengruppen, die in der gängigen Literatur auch als Stakeholder bezeichnet werden. Gray et al. (Corporate social reporting: Accounting and accountability, prentice-Hall, 1987) definieren Nachhaltigkeitsreporting als eine an die Gesellschaft und an bestimmte Interessengruppen gerichtete Berichterstattung über die sozialen und ökologischen Auswirkungen unternehmerischen Handelns (Gallego, Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management 13:78–97, 2006).
