Abstract

In the face of numerous global challenges, such as natural or humanitarian crises, technological change or societal movements, business organizations must redefine their roles in society. As the indispensable component of society, they must collaborate with other organizations to confront with these challenges. By viewing it as a social innovation, CSR can provide a viable framework for building such a relationship between business and society and become the landscape for such collaborations towards the accomplishment of United Nations’ (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). It is clear that there are many ways of aligning social responsibility and SDGs and this chapter discusses how companies can contribute into some of these overarching goals. Several good practices from corporate world are presented on the areas such as socially responsible foods, urban farming, fight against health problems, women entrepreneurship, distorted body image of women, digitalization, sharing economy, migration, digital platforms for learning and employment etc.
