“…Last but not least, a sustainable consumption is needed that encourages the use of organic products. It is necessary to rise awareness among young people, from the kindergarten to university, regarding sustainable practices and to provide an infrastructure that facilitates There are studies that show that CSR is driven by factors like gender (more likely, women are involved in environmental protection), personal values (people with a strong philanthropic orientation are more involved), religion (religious people are more active in protecting the environment), political ideology or the field of study (people with humanistic and social training are more enthusiastic to act voluntarily in accordance with the principles of the circular economy) (Galvão, 2019). The social responsibility of companies is now limited in scale due to the limited access of the public to the necessary information the development of creative industries and the lack of funding in this area (Sasongko, 2018).…”

Through its whole set of activities related to the invention, development, production and use of biological products and processes, bio-economy contributes significantly to the economy and to the progress of society by improving the sustainability of health, nutrition, energy efficiency, industry, environmental protection and human well-being in general. In this study, by creating an overview of the efficiency of renewable energy sources, in the context of sustainable resource management for preserving a healthy, diverse and resilient ecosystem, the research aimed to show the unused renewable energy sources at maximum potential in Romania, what are the reasons for their non-use, what are the opportunities and what are the solutions that can be adopted for the exploitation of these types of renewable energy sources in Romania. In the European Union, geothermal energy has already been well exploited and, in the future, will no longer make a significant contribution to increasing the productivity of renewable energies. Eurostat data was collected and processed using a linear regression model on the primary production of renewable energy in Romania and the rest of the European states for a period of 11 years (2005-2016); at the same time, statistical forecasts were made for the years 2017 and 2018 and was pursued to what extent social responsibility activities of companies is in line with the principles of bio-economy. In Romania, there is a very high potential for both geothermal energy that is insufficiently exploited to date and for the transformation of municipal waste into energy. It also explores the possibility of using intelligent information systems to optimize the exploitation of renewable energy sources. An important role in this effort is made by companies that, by adopting a Social Responsibility Code (CRS), can bring not only benefits, but also create a positive image with favorable consequences for all parties involved.

“…Attention to this phenomenon is due to the fact that the definition of the "strategy of life self-determination of student community at all stages of professional training at the university will allow individualizing the educational and educative process, correcting the program of psychology-psychological support for students' life selfdetermination" (Martynova, 2013: 62). In addition, the actualization of the ethical component of a person's life position serves as a factor orienting students to the corporate values of the higher professional education system and social responsibility (Galvão et al, 2019).…”

Under the conditions of risk-related influence on globalization processes, as well as with the intensive development of information and communication technologies and the media sphere, the formation of students' life strategies for their effective group and individual implementation is one of the goals of the state and society. Life strategies, as a social phenomenon complex in nature, should be considered in the context of the choice of the person and the social group of life goals and ways of self-determination and self-realization. As the factors determining the choice of the personality relevant life strategies are the level of socioeconomic development of society, cultural values and traditions, political institutions and structures, social strata and groups, sociodemographic parameters and other socially significant features. Life strategies act as socially determined, integrative and rational systems of individual orientation to the long-term perspective in individual, social and cultural plans (both in projective and retrospective aspects), objectified in individual behavior and activity. Types of life strategies have a set of such characteristics that can be used for the typology of visual data presented in the form of photographs. The article identifies and characterizes the life strategies of Belarusian student's community, as well as heuristic possibilities of visual sociology for their identification and analysis.

“…Many articles focused on student attitudes and perceptions on CSR and/or stakeholders have considered gender as a relevant explanatory variable (e.g., [80][81][82]). Although different effects have been found, most studies conclude that women tend to exhibit greater sensitivity to CSR [83], have stronger ethical orientation [80], and attach more importance to environmental issues [81]. These results are consistent with the ethics of care [84], which proposes that women speak and act in the language of caring and responsibilities.…”

How Does Reciprocity Affect Undergraduate Student Orientation towards Stakeholders?

Nowadays, students are more aware of the impact of companies on their stakeholders and the need for properly handling their expectations to operationalize corporate social responsibility. Nevertheless, little is known about how certain individual traits may relate to their stance on the issue. This exploratory research contributes to stakeholder theory by analysing the effect of the individual’s decision-making process, including the consideration of their social preferences, on their orientation toward stakeholder management. Here, we draw upon a theoretical model for resource-allocation decision-making consisting of reciprocal and non-reciprocal components. Our data, from undergraduate students enrolled in different degrees, were collected through a questionnaire and two social within-subject experiments (ultimatum and dictator games). Thus, our results show that the presence of a reciprocal component when decisions are made is positively linked to an instrumental orientation toward stakeholders. In addition, a greater non-reciprocal component in the decision-making process corresponds to a more normative orientation.
