“…Consequently, design activities have the potential to positively influence the success of the CSR strategy and the achievement of the CSR goals. The matrixes developed by Yang et al (2016) and Koo (2015) support that statement as they highlight the links between CSR issues and design activities. For instance, the matrix developed by Yang et al (2016) shows that the selection of components during the design process strongly influences the pollution prevention and the sustainable use of resources, which are key strategic issues for companies today.…”

Sustainability is a key issue for manufacturing companies, which detail in their annual corporate social responsibility (CSR) reports how they plan to operationalise the seventeen sustainable development goals set by the United Nations in 2016. Design is deemed particularly relevant to integrate sustainability issues, and many design for sustainability (DFS) approaches have developed since the 1980s. However, the lack of understanding of the relationship between CSR and design prevents DFS approaches from enabling sustainability issues to be integrated in the design process in a relevant manner with the CSR strategy of a company. Consequently, we developed a mapping methodology in order to provide a better understanding of the CSR-design relationship. This mapping methodology consists in (1) identifying the relevant CSR goals that can be managed during the design process, (2) gathering information about the links between these CSR goals and the design process through semi-structured interviews, and (3) building a map representing these links. We started to apply our mapping methodology in an application case in the automotive industry. The first results of this application are presented in this article.

“…Among the activities of manufacturing companies, the Product Development Process (PDP) is considered as key for the operationalisation of CSR. Several authors have highlighted the strong relationship between CSR and the PDP (Koo and Cooper, 2011;Yang et al, 2016;Rocha and Schmidt, 2014) and the potential of the PDP to contribute to the CSR performance of companies. However, little is known about the capabilities needed for manufacturing companies to integrate and manage their CSR issues in their PDP.…”

Manufacturing companies are urged to take responsibility for their impacts on the environment and on society, to contribute to a more sustainable development. The concept of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has therefore gained a lot of interest in the last decades. The Product Development Process (PDP) is a key activity in the operationalization of CSR in a company. However, little is known about the capabilities needed for companies to integrate and manage their CSR issues in their PDP. Therefore, this article aims at contributing to (1) identifying the capabilities to integrate and manage the CSR issues during the PDP, and (2) providing a maturity model to assess the level of capabilities for the integration of the CSR issues in the PDP. Insofar as CSR aims at contributing to sustainable development, the existing literature on capabilities for integrating sustainability in the PDP has been studied and taken as a basis to identify the capabilities for integrating and managing CSR in the PDP. A maturity model has then been built based on these capabilities. This contribution lays the foundation for a methodology to support companies in the improvement of their maturity level in terms of CSR-PDP interaction.
