the late '80s was released in 1987 by the World Commission on Environment Development (WCED ) a document - Our Common Future (1987), also known as the Brundtland report - where for the first time, we introduce the concept of sustainable development and is established as the sole issue of economic growth and environmental protection.
From this report and subsequent conference on Environment and Development held in Rio de Janeiro in 1992, were produced a multitude of pronouncements in favor of sustainable development, the definition according to the World Commission on Environment Development is "development that meets present needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs."

In an effort of synthesis, can be summarized as the various historical moments that have marked the path toward a global perspective of social responsibility:

In an effort of synthesis, can be summarized as the various historical moments that have marked the path toward a global perspective of social responsibility:
- 1992 conference of the 'UN in Rio de Janeiro on Environment and Development [1]
- 1997: Rio + 5 Conference, New York and the Kyoto Protocol [2]
- 1999: Birth of the Global Compact [ 3] (Global Compact) with a presentation at the World Economic Forum in Davos [4]
- 2000: Earth Charter [5] , the UN Millennium Development Goals (Millennium Development Goals) [6] , Lisbon European Council [7] , OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises [8]
- 2001: European Commission Green Paper "Promoting a European Framework for Corporate Social Responsibility" [9]
- 2002: Johannesburg conference [10]
The debate on CSR has also seen a major contribution by Europe, which is proposed as an active advocate and voice of reference. In March 2000 the Lisbon European Council aims for the European economy to becoming "the most competitive knowledge economy in the world capable of sustainable economic growth accompanied by more and better jobs and by greater social cohesion ".
The following are the main stages of the debate in Europe on CSR:
1993: Delors White Paper - Growth Competitiveness and employment [11]
2000: Lisbon European Council
2001: Green Paper - Green Paper: Promoting a European Framework for Corporate Social Responsibility [12] .
2002: White Paper - White Paper: Corporate Social Responsibility: A business contribution to sustainable development. [13]
2004: European Forum Multistakeholder [14]
2006: Green Paper 2006 "New Communication on CSR - the Partnership for Growth and Jobs: Making Europe a pole of 'Excellence in the field of corporate social responsibility [15] .
2007: European Parliament Resolution - Ratio Howitt [16]
2009: Contributing to Sustainable Development: the role of fair trade and non-governmental commercial sustainability assurance. [17]
The debate grows over the years, the growing number of studies, definitions and attention on the issue. In any case you must wait until the end of the '90s to see the birth of a voluntary form of liability, discretionary, ie the willingness of enterprises to adopt and integrate a management based on ethics, sustainability and social commitment. In other words, the Corporate Social Responsibility.
