Features and Trends of Sector-specific Corporate Responsibility

This study is an initial foray into the emerging field of sector-specific corporate responsibility (SCR). While the previous chapters have presented the empirical evidence that had been gathered, this chapter aims to make sense of the data. At first, five sets of evaluation criteria for SCR initiatives are introduced and explained. The criteria are then applied on four good examples taken from the country reports, one for each mode of collaboration. This detailed evaluation of initiatives is complemented by the identification of best practice elements among the 24 examples discussed. The chapter ends with concluding remarks on SCR initiatives and the role of governments.
