It is increasingly being accepted that there is a benefit to both parties when a relationship is established between an NGO and a company. Consequently a considerable number of strategic alliances have been established. It must be accepted that such alliances are not necessarily mutually beneficial but little research has been undertaken to determine the factors which facilitate or mitigate against such mutual benefit. Indeed it is only recently that such relationship shave started to be examined at all. The contributions in this volume seek to redress this by researching various aspects of such relationships in order to arrive at some conclusions regarding the potential benefits and pitfalls of such relationships. The various contributors speak from different perspectives and different locations around the world and have different experiences and interpretations to offer. The results therefore present a diverse but balanced picture of the potential of any relationship between NGOs, companies and corporate social responsibility.

Die vorliegende Arbeit ist eine Bestandsaufnahme der CSR-Aktivitäten von Unternehmen in der österreichischen Nahrungs- und Genussmittelindustrie. Mittels der strukturierten Inhaltsanalyse nach Mayring wurden 82 Websites von Unternehmen der Nahrungs- und Genussmittelindustrie auf ihre Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)-Aktivitäten analysiert. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass die strukturierte Aufbereitung von CSR-Aktivitäten in Form von Nachhaltigkeitsberichten nicht stark verbreitet ist. Entgegen der Theorie werden nicht alle drei Säulen der Triple-Bottom-Line als gleichwertig angesehen. Von den untersuchten Unternehmen werden vorrangig ökonomische und soziale Belange verfolgt. Die primär angesprochenen Stakeholder der CSR-Aktivitäten waren Kunden, Mitarbeiter, Lieferanten, die Gesellschaft insgesamt, Shareholder und die Regierung. Weitere Aktivitäten beziehen sich auf die unternehmensinterne Optimierung wie Standort, Logistik und strategische Ziele. ; Within this thesis corporate social responsibility (CSR) activities of companies in the Austrian food industry were analyzed. The qualitative content analysis was used to analyze 82 websites regarding the CSR activities of companies within the Austrian food industry. The results underline that the structured reprocessing of CSR activities such as sustainability reports are not widely-used in the food industry. However, usually companies do publish facts about their CSR activities in an unstructured way. Referring to the triple-bottom-line companies act primarily within the economic and social field of CSR. Ecology seems to be of minor importance for companies. The primarily addressed stakeholder groups are employees, suppliers, customers, the society at large, shareholder and the government. Further CSR activities relate to internal optimization concerning location, logistics, and strategic goals. ; Verf: Doris Thanner ; Zsfassung in engl.
