106 CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY (CSR): DEFINITION EU (2011) CSR is the responsibility of enterprises for their impacts on society Respect for applicable legislation, and for collective agreements between social partners, is a prerequisite for meeting that responsibility. To fully meet their corporate social responsibility, enterprises should have in place a process to integrate social, environmental, ethical, human rights and consumer concerns into their business operations and core strategy in close collaboration with their stakeholders, with the aim of: - maximising the creation of shared value for their owners/shareholders and for their other stakeholders and society at large; - identifying, preventing and mitigating their possible adverse impacts.
