Refusing to be accountable / Kim Bizzarri    

Public ISBD Titre : Refusing to be accountable : Business hollows out new EU corporate social responsibility rules Type de document : document électronique Auteurs : Kim Bizzarri, Auteur Editeur : Brussels : Corporate Europe Observatory (CEO) Année de publication : avril 2013 Importance : 13 p Langues : Anglais (eng) Tags : Europe  Entreprises  RSE Résumé : As a result of the economic crisis there is a widespread expectation that businesses should be more accountable to society. One important step in that direction would be to require companies to publish data on their social and environmental impacts across the supply chain. But the European Commission's new proposal on Corporate Social Responsibility reporting has been weakened by industry pressure to the extent that it is now virtually meaningless. Instead of a solid framework there remains a hollowed out structure not fit for purpose, to the point where a mere 0.3% of all European companies may be affected by the new reporting rules on social and environmental impacts – and even they could opt out. Business lobbies, with very active support from the German government, have successfully pushed for voluntary reporting with non-binding requirements that can be selectively interpreted and would not be enforceable.
