Corporate social responsibility and stakeholders

measuring or discussing?

Dominique Bessire

pp. 148-172

Abstrakt

In the field of corporate social responsibility (CSR), practices and discourses, which legitimate them, put the emphasis on measurement. The tools which are used in this perspective are usually presented as a means to complement the more traditional financial accounting measures and diagnoses, and they indeed refer to the same methodologies and vocabulary: environmental accounting, green accounting, social rating (Christophe, 2000; Quairel, 2004, p. 8). In the construction and the deployment of this instrumentation, all efforts seem to focus on a depersonalisation of the measurement process, which is considered legitimate since it guaranteed objectivity.
