Katrin Vitols (2011) Nachhaltigkeit - Unternehmensverantwortung Mitbestimmung
Corporate social responsibility (hereafter CSR) is a topical issue. In this report Katrin Vitols provides an overview, based on desktop research, of the CSR involvement of trade unions and works councils. The report includes interesting insights and information on the often problematic interaction between workers’ representatives and management-led CSR initiatives. A whole range of attitudes and positions (from ‘being actively involved’ to ‘kept outside’) are referred to in the first section.

The report is based on 26 national reports that are also available on the Foundation website. One of the conclusions is that five years after the implementation date of Directive 2002/14/EC the procedures for establishing information and consultation arrangements and the scope for organisation- or sector-specific models via collective agreement vary considerably between countries.
