CSR Public Policies and the Welfare State

IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF PUBLIC POLICIES ON CSR, THE SOCIAL, CULTURAL AND


POLITICAL CONTEXT OF EACH COUNTRY IS OF PARAMOUNT IMPORTANCE. THE MODEL
OF PUBLIC POLICIES AND CSR THAT WE HAVE OUTLINED ABOVE CORROBORATE THIS.
THOSE READERS WHO ARE FAMILIAR WITH THE LITERATURE ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF
THE WELFARE STATE IN EUROPE WILL HAVE DETECTED SIMILARITIES BETWEEN THE
MODELS OF PUIBLIC POLICIES AND CSR THAT WE HAVE IDENTIFIED AND THE DIVISIONS
THAT ARE USUALLY MADE WHEN ANALYZING THE DIFFERENT FORMS AND EXPERIENCE
OF THE WELFARE STATE.

Attachment to the Government Profile of CSR


Towards the Suppliers
BUSINESSES MUST ENSURE THAT TERM OF CONTRACTS WITH SUPPLIERS BE CLEARLY
STATED AND HONORED IN FULL. THE ABUSE OF ECONOMIC POWER ESPECIALLY IN
DEALING WITH SMALLER FIRMS MUST ALSO BE AVOIDED.

Towards the Owners and Other Providers of Capital


OWNERS AND PROVIDERS OF CAPITAL MUST BE PROVIDED AN ADEQUATE RETURN ON
THEIR CAPITAL TO ENSURE THE SECURITY OF THEIR INVESTMENTS.

Towards the Local and National Government


WHILE IT IS AGREED THAT THE RESPONSIBILITY OF GOVERNMENTS TO ENACT
LEGISLATION AND FORMULATE IMPLEMENTING POLICIES AND PROGRAMS, IT IS THE
DUTY OF BUSINESS TO INVOLVE ITSELF IN THE DISCUSION OF PROPOSED LEGISLATION
AND TO PROPOSE SOUND POLICIES IN THE USE OF HUMAN AND MATERIAL RESOURCES.

Towards Society in General


IT IS THE DUTY OF BUSINESS TO MAKE SURE THAT THE RESOURCES ARE DEPLOYED IN
SUCH A MANNER WHICH WILL BENEFIT SOCIETY IN GENERAL AND WHICH DOES NOT
CONFLICT WITH THE NEEDS AND REASONABLE ASPIRATION OF THE COMMUNITIES IN
THE AREAS WHERE THEY OPERATE.
The Businessman and the Code
AN IMPORTANT ELEMENT IN THE CODE CONCERNS THE IMPORTANT UNDERSTANDING
OF THE KEY ROLE OF THE BUSINESSMAN OR THE PROFESSIONAL MANAGER IN THE
SUCCESS OF ALL ENDEAVORS. THE ENTERPRENEUR AND THE MANAGER ARE THE PRIME
MOVERS OF DEVELOPMENT. THE CODE RECOGNIZES THAT ULTIMATELY, ALL BUSINESS
IS ESSENTIALLY AN EXPRESSION OF HUMAN RELATIONSHIP AND THAT THERFORE THE
MAN AND WOMAN WHO BRINGS ALL OF THIS RELATIONSHIPS TOGETHER TOWARDS A
COMMON END MUST BE GUIDED BY HUMANIST, ETHICAL PRINCIPLES IN HIS
ACTUATIONS.

Using the Code


STEP 1 – INVOLVES THE EXAMINATION, UNDERSTANDING AND ACCEPTANCE OF THE
CODE BY THE POLICY MAKERS IN THE ENTERPRISE.
STEP 2 – INVOLVES THE DEVELOPMENT BY POLICY MAKERS OF DETAILED GUIDELINES
AND POLICIES FOR THEIR EMPLOYEES.
STEP 3 – INVOLVES AN EVALUATION AND REGULAR AUDIT OF THE IMPLEMENTAION OF
THE CODE AND THE ATTACHMENT SET OF SPECIFIC POLICIES AND GUIDELINES.

Major points developed in this Chapter


FIRST – INVOLVES THE STRAIGHTFORWARD PURSUIT OF DAILY BUSINESS OPERATIONS
IN AN EFFICIENT AND PROFITABLE WAY TO ENSURE THAT THE FIRM CONTINUES TO
PERFORM ITS FUNCTION PROVIDING GOODS AND SERVICES THROUGH THE RESOURCES
SOCIETY YIELDS FOR ITS USE.
THE SECOND ASPECT HAS TO DO WITH THE MORALLY AND SOCIALLY RESPONSIBLE WAY
THE BUSINESS FOLLOWS IN PURSUIT OF PROFIT.
THE THIRD COMPONENT INVOLVES WHATEVER LAUDABLE INITIATIVES THE BUSINESS
MAY ENGAGE IN OVER AND ABOVE THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE FIRST TWO ASPECTS IN
THE ENLIGHTENED BELIEF THAT ANY EFFORT MADE TO ENHANCE THE QUALITY OF LIFE
OF SOCIETY ULTIMATELY REDOUNDS TO THE PRESERVATION OF THE FIRMS OWN
INTEREST.
