Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has become an increasingly important topic in our global society. Corporate Social Responsibility Across Europe is the first volume of its kind to bring together twenty-three national perspectives on this issue. Thirty-seven European researchers worked on the book, which provides a comprehensive and structured survey of CSR developments and progress at national levels. An overview and analysis is provided for each country. Topics addressed include business and societal mindsets in the different cultural settings, national drivers for the current development of CSR, and prospects for the individual countries in the future. Furthermore it contains three comprehensive pan-European analyses. The chapters also contain practical information and references to the Internet as well as relevant literature in order to support further research and stimulate business activities in this field. The result is a rather unique collection of essays on the topic of CSR across Europe.

Corporate Citizenship, or entrepreneurial civic engagement, is increasingly discussed both domestically and internationally, presenting challenges for strategic corporate management to actively address societal issues in collaboration with external partners. Companies benefit from cross-sector networks but require specific competencies for their establishment and maintenance. The applications for the corporate award from the "Freedom and Responsibility" initiative underpin this collection, showcasing a comprehensive array of "best practices" from German companies, alongside an overview of current documents and initiatives on both national and international levels, establishing it as a standard reference on a growing topic. The content covers various aspects, including the role of civil society, globalization, and the dynamics of corporate citizenship. It explores the potential benefits for companies, practical projects of different sizes, and the societal conditions necessary for successful engagement. Additionally, it addresses the regulatory frameworks at local, national, and European levels, emphasizing the importance of corporate engagement in global governance and the challenges of the 21st century. The work also highlights future perspectives for research and education in corporate citizenship, detailing initiatives and interdisciplinary collaborations aimed at enhancing understanding and practice in this vital area.
