ABSTRACT

In this chapter we look closer at a regional initiative called CSR Agder. CSR Agder was a project-based co-operation on corporate social responsibility (CSR) and sustainability, which involved actors from the private and public sector, as well as Agder Research (AR) and University of Agder (UoA). This project exemplifies the idea of Triple Helix. The project lasted for 4 years and ended in 2013. This chapter outlines the origins of the project, key initiatives, collaboration and possible outcomes. It also presents material on how three key regional industrial actors work related to CSR and sustainability.
