The contribution of the cooperative movement to the CSR idea – the aspect of ethical responsibility

Summary/Abstract: Two parallel directions of action exist in the cooperative, i.e. economic and social-municipal. It arises from the fact that the cooperative is not only an enterprise but also a community of people. Essential rules and cooperative values are shaped under the different ideas and constitute the essence and specificity of cooperative method of operation. Realized cooperative rules cause that the cooperative is responsible among other things in the ethical dimension. The purpose of the article is to show that foregoing ideas integrate themselves into the concept of social responsibility of business (Corporate Social Responsibility ‒ CSR) and specifically into its ethical dimension.
