| Abstract | At the C3ED-UVSQ, a new methodology for assessing corporate social responsibility has been developed to better deal with a situation where top-down and command-and-control ways of management (first order governance) fail. The method suggested and tested is a second order governance process combining phases of opening up and closing down. Opening up includes stakeholder involvement and closing down scientific input and management responsibility in indicator development. This way, indicators can be derived that are generic, locally meaningful and accepted by management and stakeholders while conforming to the international standards of indicator development. In the case study presented, this methodology has been modified and applied to one of Germany's major aluminium processing sites, with staff, management, suppliers, customers and local stakeholders involved. The sets of 10 indicators each derived for the economic, environmental, social and institutional dimensions are presented. |
