  • Corporate Social Responsibility and Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Issues
    Corporate social responsibility and lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender issues Katharina Parizek SCHOOL OF ECONOMICS, BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION & LEGAL STUDIES A thesis submitted for the degree of Master of Science (MSc) in Environmental Management and Sustainability January 2019 Thessaloniki – Greece Declaration Student Name: Katharina Parizek SID: 1105170011 Supervisor: Assist. Prof. Konstantinos Evangelinos I hereby declare that the work submitted is mine and that where I have made use of another’s work, I have attributed the source(s) according to the regulations set in the Student’s Handbook. January 2019 Thessaloniki - Greece i Submission A version of this research has been submitted for publication in the Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management Journal. The paper is attached in Appendix B. ii Abstract Events such as financial and corporate scandals, climate change, and the importance of labor rights and product safety have led to a continuously increasing demand of transparency and accountability of businesses in the last decades. Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and sustainability reporting standards like the GRI standard do not only include economic but also environmental and social impacts of organizations into their policies to face these challenges. Companies therefore pay more attention to the needs and support of their stakeholders like their own employees. Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) people are confronted with discrimination not only in their private life but also in their professional life. The aim of this paper is to provide an overview on how LGBT issues are integrated into the CSR framework in United Kingdom of Great Britain and Germany and if there are any differences.
