Are SMEs concerned by social responsibility? |

|
Yes, social responsibility concerns all companies. Multinationals are the most concerned because they are submitted to pressure from many sources.
SMEs may also have good reasons to commit themselves to social responsibility, whether as a differentiating element from the competition, or in terms of communication.
Furthermore, the general conditions of many multinationals now include social and environmental criteria.
In this way, multinationals protect their reputation by including socially responsible criteria in their selection of subcontractors and suppliers.
