TOWARDS SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT

Florin Boghean, Stefan cel Mare” University of Suceava, Romania

ABSTRACT: The development of this paper has been based on an approach that moves from the
international to the national sphere, with particular focus on the aspects concerning social
responsibility, a component of efficient corporate governance, starting from the idea that a
summary of the findings of these comparative studies is essential, as they may become actual
examples of practical use of the various corporate governance theories, with the possibility to
highlight the best practices of corporate governance in general. The range of benefits such a
research project conveys also includes the possibility to identify and understand the international
best practices in the CSR field that would further contribute to the implementation of the corporate
governance principles and the further enhancement of CSR for Romanian business entities.
