In their early years, start-up entrepreneurs are primarily concerned with customer acquisition, fundraising and growth, product development and the like. Yet many have more resources at their disposal and are better able to pursue social responsibility strategies than they may initially realise. Moreover, it also pays off for the company\u2019s success to take CSR into account from the very beginning. Once a company grows and cultures and processes become more rigid, it becomes more difficult to adopt initiatives that are initially perceived not to contribute directly to the profit. During their early stages, start-ups have a unique opportunity to \u2018bag\u2019 social responsibility and reap the long-term dividends that social responsibility practices can bring to a brand. To bring their priorities in the context of corporate responsibility into focus, start-ups could begin with an exploratory process to find out how their business directly affects the people, communities and environment around them, and how their structures, assets and actions can be made more socially and environmentally sustainable. In this respect, the SUM project sets the framework for European start-ups to live up to their social responsibility and in this way, not least, strengthens the sense of social justice and cohesion among EU citizens.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
