MANAGEMENT OF CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY IN THE CONTEXT OF INCREASING COMPETITIVENESS

MANAGEMENT OF CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY IN THE CONTEXT OF INCREASING COMPETITIVENESS

Abstract

The purpose of the article is to study current trends in corporate social responsibility management of large agro-industrial entities in wartime and to identify promising areas for its further strengthening in the context of competitiveness. Large agricultural corporations play a decisive role in the development of the Ukrainian agricultural sector and rural areas. Due to the economies of scale and vertical integration of production, processing, and marketing of agricultural products, agricultural holdings engage in high-tech and highly profitable agricultural production and have powerful financial capabilities to implement the concept of social responsibility. This is extremely important both for strengthening their competitiveness and for ensuring sustainable rural development. In the course of the study, methods of analysis and synthesis, comparison and generalization, abstraction and concretization, as well as tabular methods for visual representation of the research results were used to study the social responsibility management system of the enterprise. The article examines the experience of social responsibility management at two large Ukrainian enterprises, Astarta Kyiv and Kernel. In the context of the war, the most relevant areas of their corporate social responsibility have been support for education, cooperation with small producers, volunteering, and assistance to the Ukrainian armed forces and the population affected by the war, among others. Promising areas for improving the corporate social responsibility of agricultural enterprises in the context of increasing their competitiveness include the development and implementation of a national corporate social responsibility strategy, ensuring the transparency of social and environmental initiatives through the publication of non-financial reports, and monitoring their activities. An important area is the development of cooperation with small and medium-sized commodity producers on the basis of cooperation and clustering. The implementation of the proposed directions for managing the corporate social responsibility of agro-industrial corporations will contribute to increasing their sustainability and competitiveness, and will help alleviate the socio-economic problems of rural residents, in particular, reducing unemployment and poverty among the rural population.

В статті розглянуто досвід управління соціальною відповідальністю у двох великих підприємств України, Астарта Київ та Кернел. В умовах війни актуальними напрямами їх КСВ стали підтримка освіти, співпраця з дрібними виробниками, волонтерство, допомога ЗСУ й постраждалому населенню та інші. Перспективними напрямами підвищення КСВ агропідприємств в контексті підвищення їх конкурентоспроможності є розробка та реалізація національної стратегії КСВ, забезпечення прозорості соціальних та екологічних ініціатив шляхом оприлюднення нефінансової звітності, моніторингу їх діяльності. Важливим напрямом є розвиток співпраці з малими та середніми товаровиробниками на засадах кооперації та кластеризації. Реалізація запропонованих напрямків управління КСВ агропромислових корпорацій сприятиме підвищенню їх стійкості та конкурентоспроможності, дозволить послабити соціально-економічні проблеми селян, зокрема, безробіття та бідність.
