Abstract

This paper sets out to describe the level of corporate social responsibility of the Greek manufacturing sector. While the level of corporate socially responsible behaviour has been widely explored in the context of Northern European industry, analysis concerning the level of CSR practices of the Greek manufacturing industry is underdeveloped. An empirical study is performed based on the identification of CSR practices of the most active companies in the industrial sector in Greece. Their CSR orientation is recognized by their published annual CSR reports and the performance indicators they use in order to demonstrate their corporate responsibility. The analysis of their CSR behavior is based on an eight-category framework, which is a decomposition of the three typical CSR views recognized in the literature, these being economy, environment and society. The results are critically commented and conclusions are made for the CSR future of the manufacturing companies operating in Greece.
