Social Responsibility in the Romanian Medical Sector
Abstract
As an inspiring and strategically important development, social responsibility (SR) is becoming an increasingly important priority for the companies of all sizes and types. Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) is an essential component of SR and it requires managers and OSH professionals with a variety of opportunities and challenges. With increasing globalization, greater environmental and social awareness and more efficient communication, the concept of companies’ responsibilities beyond the purely legal obligations or profit-related objectives has gained new impetus. Businesses need to be seen acting responsibly towards people, planet and profit. The paper presents the actions taken by the Romanian companies in the medical sector to define their social responsibility performance.
