Lyubimov, D. S. Social Responsibility of Business in Russian Legislation and Some Problems of its Entities

Abstract: The article is devoted to the problem of legal regulation of social responsibility in business. On one hand, it is necessary to develop socially responsible behavior of economic entities which is impossible without regulation of this type of social relations in legislation. On the other hand, under the guise of social responsibility, the big business implements a so-called ‘non-standard motivation’ of public authorities and local self-government in order to get advantages when conducting a business. It also shows that there is an obvious need in legal regulation of such relations in the sphere of social responsibility. One of the most diffi cult issues of legal regulation is determination of a set of people the law applies to. In this case, the author of the article talks about determination of an ‘addressee’ of social responsibility in business. These addressees are usually called ‘stakeholders’.
