  3. Whatis CSR communication? “Corporate social responsibility (CSR) is a concept whereby companies integrate social and environmental concerns in their business operations and in their interaction with their stakeholders on a voluntary basis. It is about enterprises deciding to go beyond minimum legal requirements and obligations stemming from collective agreements in order to address societal needs. Through CSR, enterprises of all sizes, in cooperation with their stakeholders, can help to reconcile economic, social and environmental ambitions.” (European Commission 2006: 2) Carroll 1991:42

  4. Whatis CSR communication? A workingdefinitionof CSR communication: CSR communication can be defined as the communication from organizations itself or by journalism about events of organizations that are a) longer term measures (sustainable), b) voluntary (not legally bound). The actions/events reported have c) a clear connection to the organizations activities, but it is not their objective. CSR communications can usually be found in all public communications (PR, corporate webpages, corporate magazines as well as in journalism and in special CSR media like the CSR-report). Issues of CSR communication can be subdivided into social, economical and ecological responsibility. The function of CSR communication is the legitimacy of business activities towards stakeholder groups and society.
