Abstract

This paper focuses on the integration of CSR in the SMEs' strategies and points out socially responsible practices of Lebanese SMEs looking for a three-dimensional equilibrium, economic, social and environmental, in their activities.

The sample of Lebanese SMEs shows the existence of certain socially responsible practices and also focuses on the SMEs' challenges to engage in CSR. It has also underlined the importance of standards and the role of networks in promoting CSR in Lebanese SMEs. Finally, this article will identify the conditions to promote learning about CSR and the commitment of Lebanese SMEs in CSR.
