Las corporaciones de radiotelevisión pública de la Unión Europea y el incipiente uso de la web 2.0 para comunicar RSC

Abstract

La Responsabilidad Social Corporativa es un concepto que define el modelo de gobernanza empresarial basado en la gestión responsable, horizontal e interactiva, en oposición a los sistemas de control cerrados y férreos. Las tres primeras corporaciones de radiotelevisión pública de la UE en implantar la RSC son British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) del Reino Unido, Raidió Teilifís Éireann (RTÉ) de Irlanda y Zweites Deutsches Fernsehen (ZDF) de Alemania. Sus estrategias se desarrollan en los ámbitos de gobernanza, condiciones laborales, derechos humanos, aspectos vinculados al consumidor, buenas prácticas en la actividad, medio ambiente y compromiso con la comunidad. Anualmente las tres corporaciones presentan memorias de resumen y evaluación del de sus acciones de RSC, con el objetivo de informar detalladamente a sus stakeholders, es decir, audiencia, directivos, proveedores, empleados, colaboradores, y comunidades locales e internacionales. El objeto de esta comunicación es analizar cómo las tres corporaciones utilizan la web 2.0. a través de sus páginas web corporativas con la finalidad de difundir sus acciones de RSC y propiciar la interactividad. Para ello, se identifica el espacio dedicado a RSC, se especifica la categoría en la que es incluida y la importancia que se le otorga en medio del resto de contenidos recogidos en las páginas webs corporativas.

Corporate Social Responsibility is a concept that defines the model of corporate governance based on responsible, horizontal and interactive accountability as opposed to closed and rail control systems. This type of management has been associated, at an initial moment, with private enterprise in the context of globalization, although gradually being implemented in the public, and consequently in the state-owned broadcasting corporations of the European Union. The three first corporations who have introduced CSR in their management are the BBC in the UK, RTÉ in Ireland, and ZDF in Germany. They develop their strategies in the fields of governance, working conditions, human rights, consumer, good practices in the activity, environment and community involvement. Annually these three corporations publish memories to evaluate the success or failure of their CSR activities, in order to provide detailed information to its stakeholders or interest groups: managers, suppliers, employees, partners, local communities and international communities. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the way in which the three corporations use Web 2.0 through their corporate websites in order to spread their CSR activities. Thus, detail the peculiarities and possibilities offered by each of the spaces 2.0 and how it encourages interaction, understood as a pillar of the `social media 'against excessive elite control prevailing in the traditional media. Also, check if the three public broadcasting corporations use Web 2.0 share CSR as a management philosophy or whether, on the contrary, does not go beyond simple social marketing. To do this, we will identify the spaces dedicated to Corporate Social Responsibility, specify the category in which it is included and the importance given to it in the middle of other content contained in the corporate websites. Overall, we aim to find out if the web 2.0. is the method of choice for corporations to communicate their CSR activities.
