Corporate Social Responsibility

A voluntary approach that a business enterprise takes to meet or exceed stakeholder expectations by integrating social, ethical, and environmental concerns together with the usual measures of revenue, profit, and legal obligation CSR is about how companies manage the business processes to produce an overall positive impact on society.

The World Business Council for Sustainable Development in its publication "Making Good Business Sense" by Lord Holme and Richard Watts, used the following definition. "Corporate Social Responsibility is the continuing commitment by business to behave ethically and contribute to economic development while improving the quality of life of the workforce and their families as well as of the local community and society at large" Social responsibility becomes an integral part of the wealth creation process - which if managed properly should enhance the competitiveness of business and maximise the value of wealth creation to society.

The GCC countries have grown strongly and seen huge improvements in their development indicators, but they remain susceptible to fluctuations in oil markets and, hence, need greater economic diversification to help boost productivity and living standards, create jobs, and reduce the fiscal and external risks associated with the heavy reliance on oil revenues

What European Commission Talked

Entrepreneurs are job creators. They lead many of the small start-ups generating 4 million new jobs created in Europe each year.
However, the EU lags behind its competitors in entrepreneurial attitude, indicating a potential for even more job creation. Only 11% of Europeans are entrepreneurs, while around 40% aspire to be their own boss . In the US and China more than half would like to be self-employed.
This relative reluctance to create new businesses has to change if Europe is to return to growth.
