Are territorial collectivities and administrations concerned by CSR? |
|
|
|
Yes. Territorial collectivities and administrations are increasingly confronted with sustainable development objectives in their management choices: UN (Rio Declaration, Millennium Declaration, Habitat II), European Union (Aalborg Charter) and national programmes such as "National Strategies of Sustainable Development".
Territorial collectivities must respond to the demands of users and residents, socio-economic actors, the elected, and, of course, the development of both national and European legal frameworks. Many territorial collectivities establish action plans, mostly within the Agenda 21 framework.
For territorial collectivities, a long-term commitment to sustainable development objectives represents a competitive and attractive advantage for the collectivity and the territory.
