Theoretical Aspects of CSR on the Context of Bioeconomy

Abstract

History connected with the evolution of the concept of Corporate Social Responsibility is long, in contrast with history connected with development of the concept of bioeconomy, which is still relatively new. The aim of this paper is to systematically review both concepts in context of one another along with ways of thinking that contributed to the understanding of these concepts that we have now. The applied method is literature review by which it will be possible to choose the most interesting as well as important perspectives that shaped both concepts. This paper can be beneficial to those who search for relevance of CSR with focus on environmental sustainability, how can it address environmental issues of nowadays, that can be used for implications in practice, and how the views on CSR as well as bioeconomy developed over time.
