Local embeddedness
The extent to which a company is rooted in its local area: local jobs, purchases from nearby suppliers, cooperation with local authorities, associations and neighbouring businesses, and contribution to local resources and skills. A lever of economic resilience, it is a common focus of CSR approaches in micro, small and medium-sized enterprises.
