Sustainable Development and CSR

The Green Book of the European Unione defines Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is a “voluntary integration of the companies’ social and environmental concerns in their commercial operations and their relationship with their most representative stakeholders”.

Today, a company that wants to be effectively considered socially responsible must create value for its direct and in direct stakeholders in the medium and long term. This principle is applicable not only to private companies, but also to entities like Consip that operate in the exclusive service of Public Administration.

In the past few years, Consip has begun to build a tighter and more intense relationship with its more important direct and in direct stakeholders, be they the Public Administrations on whose behalf it operates or representatives of civil society (associations, suppliers, citizens, accademia, etc…). The CSR effort undertaken by the company have gradually grown over the years.
