Gendron Corinne et al., « De la responsabilité sociale à la citoyenneté corporative L’entreprise privée et sa nécessaire quête de légitimité », UQAM Archipel : articles scientifiques, ID : 10670/1.m1ggzg
This article focuses on the emerging concept of corporate citizenship in business ethics. This normative concept aims to redefine the role of private companies by including the common good in their mission. Nonetheless, the ethics discourse does not permit the altering of the capital accumulation mission defined within the juridical status of enterprises. Consequently, the concept of corporate citizenship is creating a new legitimising strategy: the notion of corporate citizenship, by redefining the social status of private companies, contributes to position them as legitimate «world» social institutions that assume functions once managed by the state.
