Abstract:
The globalization of markets imposes, more than ever, competitiveness imperatives for economic entities
around the world and has consequences both on the environment and on the people. In this context, there are
alternatives to the sustainable development to keep environmental and social resources in optimal shape.
Economic entities as major players in society must play their part and be aware of the importance of integrating
actions specific to sustainable development and social irresponsibility at the strategic and decision-making level.
To survive and be more competitive, they are forced to innovate and develop products that are more
environmentally friendly. Social responsibility is a concern at national and international level, and the reporting
of non-financial information is a result of the actions taken by economic entities in this regard.
