Description
Summary:This research analyzes the perception of social economic firms - specifically workers cooperatives and labour managed firms located in Madrid - regarding their action in activities of social responsibility. The main information used for this article has been obtained from managerial appraisals by evaluating questionnaires sent to a select number of managers of these companies. At the same time, work meetings and personal interviews were held. The research has concluded a rising concern about society and the environment. Furthermore, the survey indicates the necessity of applying socially responsible criteria and the further use of sustainability reports. These criteria should be implemented by all the groups that are in touch with these companies (such as workers, capital suppliers and government amongst others). However, there is still an important difference if we compare the actions undertaken in this field by larger companies.
