INTERNATIONAL COMPANIES IN SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OF REGIONS

Abstract

The article examines the implementation of social policies by international companies, based on the principles of social responsibility. The principle of social responsibility can be viewed, in our opinion, as a complex indicator that includes several levels of assessment of the working conditions of employees of the enterprise that implement this principle; programs that are implemented outside the enterprise and which contribute to the creation of more favorable social conditions for the population living in the respective territory. Much attention is paid to companies Danone and Nestle, and their social obligations to employees and home regions. The subject of the article is the definition of the role of international companies in the social and economic development of regions (on the example of the Saratov region). The purpose is to identify the place of international companies in the regional socio-economic space. The scope of application of the results is in the strategic planning of the development of regions taking into account the investment attractiveness and social responsibility of business.
