In the modern information society and global economy, companies are facing new challenges which need comprehensive and sustainable solutions. Economic-financial long-term success is no longer guaranteed without a balanced approach to social and environmental demands and good relationships with all stakeholders.

Corporate responsibility offers companies an approach to manage their risks once transparency and dialogue become principles. Communication with the various stakeholders is an effective method to identify common problems and gives an opportunity to find joint solutions.

Corporate responsibility can be related to other positive results:

• the institutional image and brand name are strengthened;
• loyalty of all audiences increases and the company has a better chance of recruiting and retaining talent;
• better risk management, more stability and therefore reliable long-term success;
• rigorous ethical criteria established by many investors can be met more easily;
• increased competitiveness in public competitions and in selections of suppliers.

Increasing a company's responsibility does not exclude its natural objective, growth through profit. On the contrary, it allows for a long-term, healthy profit with minimized risks.

Introducing corporate responsibility leads to profound changes within an organisation. The process of integrating corporate responsibility into a company's management system can be facilitated by using a series of tools and standards developed through dialogue with both stakeholders and companies.
