Published CSR due diligence article

Corporate social responsibility (CSR) has been gaining more and more notice over the past few years. It is not only up to authorities to prevent violations of human rights and environmental damage; it is also - or perhaps even especially - up to companies to take part in this. National and international legislation could foster and enforce CSR. Furthermore, legislation could ensure greater transparency and chain responsibility.

Discussed OECD and UN principles

The UN Guiding Principles apply to both states and companies. The OECD Guiding Principles offer companies various tools in connection with chain responsibility (value chain and supply chain), human rights and the environment. However, these principles and guidelines are not binding. The Dutch government encourages companies to apply them voluntarily and concludes ICSR covenants with the aim of preventing certain malpractices such as exploitation and environmental damage.

Explained steward ownership

With Steward Ownership, the company belongs to no one. The shares in the 'BV' are held by a foundation, of which the articles of association cannot be amended. The foundation has only one board with its own statutory mission to monitor the statutory mission of the 'BV'. In board decisions, fulfilling the mission is paramount, not the maximization of short-term profit.

Documented steward-ownership model

After 12 years of running Generous Minds like a steward-ownership cooperation, we are legally documenting our steward-ownership organizational- and business model with BVDV Advocaten & Fiscalisten.
