Corporate Social Responsibility

Nonetheless, we can sum up as follows that the social responsibility presented to society in an open form in its most developed option, that is understood as activities of the companies for three types of responsibility: economic (quality, safety of production and services, and also their physical and price availability), ecological (decrease in harmful emissions and other loads of environment) and social (development of own collective and external social projects, including charity). On the example of the company Sanofi Group we were convinced that activity of the large companies radically changes a situation. Regardless, whether such social activity is caused by desire to become more attractive employer or the supplier for the large companies, or simply ethical belief of owners, this research testifies that the Russian enterprises become more and more socially responsible.
