The financing modalities of banking foundations: Case study of social and solidarity economy sector in Morocco

Abstract

The objective of this article is to make an inventory of the means of financing of Social Solidarity Economy (SSE) actors by questioning the particular role of the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) approaches of Moroccan banks in the financing of this sector. To provide answers to these questions, we have listed, by using a qualitative analysis, mainly documentary components of the CSR approach of seven Moroccan banks, based on data available in their latest CSR reports and information made public on their institutional websites. The main contribution of this article is to offer a first support of reflection on the willingness of the banking sector to support SSE through the CSR approach of its actors.
