Several studies on Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), a traditional domain of large companies, have shown a growing significance for Small end Medium Enterprises (SMEs). Evidence suggests that social and environmental commitment is not a marginal issue for SMEs even if it is based on the evaluation of performance actually carried out, rather than on the formal adoption of specific tools. This paper explores CSR initiatives and practices of SMEs associated with Confindustria Salerno, underpinning that socially responsible policies implemented, mainly in the dynamics intra-organizational, are bound to a natural sharing of experiences and common values, rather than originated by a coherent and systematic planning.

Keywords: Corporate Social Responsibility, small and medium enterprises, social and environmental tools, ethics, survey
