From the Paper:

"It is one thing for a company to define its social responsibility. It is another thing to define a step-by-step strategy for carrying out this policy. As noted, there are several key stakeholders in the definition of corporate social responsibility: customers, employees, business partners, the environment, communities and investors. Corporate social responsibility is the way to manage these six responsibilities. This is not easy, since there are overlapping and separate obligations. A working model has to be developed for interpreting and implementing the social responsibility actions. "
