Beyond Good Intentions: Turning CSR into Competitive Advantage
In a world marked by shifting global value chains, geopolitical uncertainty, and fast technological transformation, companies are rethinking how responsibility and competitiveness interact. Strategic CSR offers a way to integrate social and environmental objectives into the core of corporate strategy, thus transforming global and technological challenges into sources of sustainable advantage. Yet, when this integration is poorly managed, it can paradoxically weaken a company’s value proposition and strategic positioning, becoming an obstacle to competitiveness. How, then, can firms align their strategy with socially responsible efforts?
