Abstract

Kaynakların daha sürdürülebilir kullanılması meselesi ile insan haklarını iyileştirme ve genelleştirilmeye yönelik kaygılar küresel aktör davranışlarında giderek daha önemli bir yer bulmaktadır. Bu kapsamda Avrupa Birliği (AB) çevreye karşı sorumlu ve insan haklarına daha saygılı bir organizasyon olmak çabasını taraf olduğu uluslararası sözleşmeler, çıkardığı yasalar ve stratejilerle ortaya koymaktadır. Diğer yandan AB, işletmelerle kurduğu diyalog zeminine de bu kavramları yerleştirmeye çalışmaktadır. Bu çalışmada kurumsal sosyal sorumluluk kavramı üzerinden AB’nin işletmelerle kurmuş olduğu ilişki özellikle 2011 yılı sonrası gelişmeler üzerinden incelenmektedir. Dolayısıyla ilk bölümde genel olarak uluslararası toplumun sürdürülebilir kalkınma kapsamındaki çalışmaları ele alınmıştır. Ardından kurumsal sosyal sorumluluk kavramı üzerinde durulmuş ve AB’nin bu kapsamdaki girişimleri hukuki çerçeve ve stratejiler üzerinden incelenmiştir.

The sustainable allocation of resource issue along with concerns in regards to rehabilitation and generalization of human rights play an increasingly important role in the context of global actor behavior. In this sense, the attempt of EU’s being of an organization responsible to environment and respectful to human rights is justified by favorable international contracts, laws, and strategies. On the other side, EU tries to position these concepts to the dialogue ground they created with the businesses. In this study, considering the corporate social responsibility concept, EU’s relationship with the businesses that’s being established especially after over advances since 2011 is researched. In this globe, in the first section, in general, studies in regards to international society’s sustainable development concept is being revealed.
