The Future … Corporate Citizenship Corporate Citizenship • ‘The case for corporate engagement in society is compelling’ (Schwab, 2008). • Extension of the stakeholder concept – contribute to sustaining the world’s well-being, in co-operation with governments and civil society. • Not only ‘civic duty’ but ‘enlightened self interest’, - private sector depends on development - which in turn relies on stability and increased prosperity. • A long-term investment enhancing the sustainability of the marketplace. Engagement at all levels - local and global - on issues of importance - access to food, education, poverty.

What can business contribute? • Corporate Social Entrepreneurship - transformation of socially and environmentally responsible ideas - e.g., Deutsche Bank - Microfinance, Toyota - Hybrid Car. • Corporate Citizenship is the business of business …

  9. The Future … Corporate Citizenship ‘a feature of this globalizing world that stretches traditional boundaries. … a logical extension of corporations’ search for a consistent and sustainable framework for global engagement … one that adds value for both the companies and the global space in which they engage. It … can reinforce the positive role of business in society and enhance profitability in the long term. … integrates … the rights and the responsibilities that corporations have as global citizens. … in relying on a multi-stakeholder approach to tackling global problems, it can point out the way to new models of effective global governance that integrate business as a key stakeholder’ (Schwab, 2008: 118).
