Abstract

Beneficial corporate citizenship processes can only be developed through careful consideration rooted in philosophy and methodological consistency. Unfortunately, the concept of corporate citizenship is often used without clarifying the analytical tools needed to study and intervene in it. This brief contribution aims to serve as a concrete methodological guideline, presenting a framework based on three dimensions: the general characteristics of citizenship, the economic-managerial dimension of citizenship (associated with the E-S-G sustainability orientation), and the level of analysis (the epistemological orientation) adopted for studying and intervening in the phenomenon.
