Introduction to Corporate Social Entrepreneurship

Corporate Social Entrepreneurship (CSE) differs from Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) as the former comprises of a broader process, or organisational journey, by which the latter is part. Moreover, CSE is not just another form of CSR, but rather a process to strengthen and promote its development. CSE aims to provide an approach that will accelerate the CSR journey.

The following figure represents the journey of an organisation from CSR to CSE.

(EMBRACE project, 2021)

Stage 1 CSR

CSR occurs when companies integrate social and environmental concerns in their business operations and in their interaction with their stakeholders on a voluntary basis. It opens a way of managing change and of reconciling social development with improved competitiveness” (European Commission, 2001: 7).

Main components of CSR:

•Philanthropic
•Ethical
•Legal
•Economic
 
In this stage, the organisation’s strategy reflects core Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) responsibilities (economic , legal, ethical, philanthropic) in short term activities.

Stage 2 CSR+

Main components of CSR+:

•Philanthropic
•Ethical
•Legal
•Economic

When at this stage, the organisation’s strategy reflects the core CSR responsibilities now aligned with the business through the implementation  of a range of significantly longer term environmental and/or community based activities.

Stage 3 CSE

Main components of CSE:

•Entrepreneurial
•Innovative
•Ecological
•Social
•Ethical
•Legal
•Economic
 
In the last stage of the CSE journey, the organisation’s mission (goals and values) and strategy reflects the CSE responsibilities (social, economic and environmental) in transversal way and long term activities, involving different stakeholders. Through CSE the organisation creates social, environmental and economic values, ensuring self-sufficiency and sustainability for the organisation itself but also for the communities it supports.

CSE promotes creation of shared value. This shared value is aligned with the triple bottom perspective, which refers to the total value equation that should be considered by organisations and which comprises notonly the financial or economic value, but also the environmental and social dimensions oforganisational performance (Elkington, 2008).
