ABSTRACT
The considerable
social, economic, legislative and political changes that have marked the
agri-food sector over time have brought about new needs related to the
ethical-social and environmental field. These requirements have imposed on
organizations operating in the sector a change in their organizational and
management models. In this context, CSR (corporate
social responsibility) has assumed great importance in the context of the new
managerial logic of agri-food companies, outlining a management model based on
balancing the interests of all stakeholders, thanks to integration of
traditional economic objectives with others environmental and social. This paper aims to examine, in the first part,
the path that has characterized the enlargement of the corporate vision and the
related responsibilities, towards aspects related to the ethical, social and
environmental dimension, in the Italian agri-food sector. Subsequently, the
current approach to CSR was outlined through a review of the main tools
implemented. This is in order to evaluate the opportunities that may
derive from a strategic orientation aimed at building the sustainability of
organizations in its triple dimension: economic, environmental and social.
Finally, the main critical elements that hinder the dissemination of CSR tools
in agri-food organizations have been outlined.
