International Journal of Education and Social Science (IJESS)

The increased power of large companies that has come with globalization was not without consequences. The media scandals of some of the biggest international groups regarding violations of human rights, of public health as well as the exploitation without preservation of energy and natural resources, has aroused a world collective awareness on the fatal effects of a wild liberalism. Facing the need to reform an unfair and brutal capitalism, Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) aims to be a movement of autoregulation, particularly for stakeholders in large companies. It aims at company recognitions other than the legal and economic ones. Some international corporates invest in education and training. This study has leaned on the methodology of the case study from the available data (sustainable development reports, websites and other publications). On a theoretical level, this study contributes to enhance the abstract knowledge on CSR by implying that large companies as stakeholder of the education system establish a tool of socioeconomic development with the appropriation and operationalization of practices.
