Corporate Social Responsibility: A Comparative Analysis of Georgia and Norway

Abstract

Corporate social responsibility is a new direction of business activity and one of the most relevant topics, which has already become a form of business and a rapidly growing modern tendency. The concept of CSR began to emerge in developed Western countries and is now more widely implemented than in developing countries. However, interest in the issue is growing in both developed and developing countries, which leads to the need to study CSR in depth.
This article presents a comparative analysis of corporate social responsibility using the examples of Georgia and Norway. Three parties participate in the field of CSR: government, business, and society. The role of non-governmental organizations is also essential because they are actively involved in implementing social projects in Western countries. The article describes the current situation regarding social responsibility in Norway and Georgia. Based on the research conducted, the attitude of Georgian customers towards social responsibility is studied, the stakeholders involved in the field of CSR are characterized and compared with each other, and the main distinguishing aspects are identified as a conclusion.
