Abstract

Many multinational enterprises (MNC) based in the Romania engage in corporate citizenship programs to promote sustainable development. Corporate citizenship programs are often defined narrowly, as philanthropy or external relationships with stakeholders to address social problems. As important as these activities are, they do not adequately define the broad range of substantive internal socio-environmental management practices that MNCs also use to pursue sustainable development objectives. A survey was run in four IT&C multinational companies located in Romania, originating from France, UK and USA. The research questions were designed in order to facilitate the identification and the classification of the MNCs’ practices in the field of environmental citizenship and their contributions to sustainable development. The originality of this study consists in its tentative to assess the means by which MNCs located in Romania collaborate with stakeholders in solving social and environmental problems. By examining the factors that contribute to the success of corporate environmental citizenship for sustainable development, the author aims to develop a set of best practices for the Romanian companies in their quest for competitiveness in the current economical sensitive environment.
