SANCHEZ JIMENEZ, Vicente  and  PUENTE REGIDOR, Mónica. The Role of Workers in the Actions of Corporate Social Responsibility. The Spanish Case. Ens. Econ. [online]. 2017, vol.27, n.51, pp.57-78. ISSN 0121-117X.  https://doi.org/10.15446/ede.v27n51.69113.

The business actions encompassed in the concept of social responsibility have been accentuated in recent years with a significant regulatory development. However, in the face of this regulatory-institutional impulse, the inadequate progress of the concrete actions on the matter is noted. Faced with this situation, it is necessary to analyze and reflect on the measures promoted by the legal sphere to promote corporate social responsibility, revealing the legal frameworks on which business practices are based. Likewise, to show how the secondary role given to employees and their representatives in the very design and implementation of the same originates from the norm itself. This issue is studied from a double position, on the one hand, the analysis of the normative framework and, on the other, the current situation in the Spanish business reality.
