초록

CSR은 최근 기업들에게 중요한 이수로 대두되고 있으며 CSR활동은 더 이상 선택의 문제가 아니라 필수적인 활동으로 많은 기업들은 법을 준수하는 기초적인 차원이 아니라, 윤리적 책임을 넘어 사회적 책임을 다하려고 노력하고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 국내의 대표적인 기업인 LG전자의 사례를 통해 LG그룹의 CSR방향성과 LG전자의 활동사례를 살펴보았다. 이를 위해 LG전자의 CSR관련 자료 검토와 CSR관련부서의 미팅을 통해 본 연구를 수행하였다. LG전자는 LG그룹의 CSR에 대한 기본비전과 목표아래, 지속가능한 경영을 추구하깅 위해 사회, 환경, 경제를 균형적이면서도 통합적으로 고려한 CSR활동을 추진하였다. 특히 다양한 국제기준과 법규를 준수하면서 글로벌 시민으로서 역할을 충실히 수행하고 있다. 이러한 활동은 회사내부에서도 공식적인 업무의 범위로 인정받고 있으며 구성원들의 적극적인 참여 속에 이루어지고 있다. 이러한 LG전자의 활동은 CSR을 도입하려는 기업 뿐 만 아니라, CSR활동을 전개하고 있는 여타 다른 기업에게도 많은 시사점을 제공하고 있다.
