As a public policy think tank dedicated to studying issues that resonate internationally, France Stratégie publishes regularly in English on the labour market, the digital economy, sustainable development, economics and social affairs.Corporate social responsibility, or CSR, has become a major subject over the last few years. It is defined as the way in which businesses, acting on a voluntary basis, incorporate social, environmental, and ethical concerns into their economic activities as well as into their interactions with all stakeholders, whether the latter are internal (executives, employees, shareholders, etc.) or external (suppliers, clients, etc.).
