| Tiivistelmä: | In large corporations, Global Corporate Citizenship (GCC) continues to get more popular. Yet, in small and medium size enterprises (SMEs), this concept has rarely been considered. A case study of a Norwegian clothing company shows how GCC can also be applied to small companies. It is also shown that SMEs can be very innovative in exercising corporate citizenship, without necessarily following the patterns of large multinational companies. The company in this study operates as partner in some voluntary labour initiatives promoted by the government, employs people in marginal situations, and promotes for the adoption of good working conditions in its supply chain. Environmental issues and actions of solidarity are also considered within a global scope etc. |
