We discuss the evolution of this strategy. We claim that while in companies the principles of social responsibility are auxiliary to their core mission, no such incompatibility exists among employees of universities. This is because they have a duty to conduct their work in line with its latest results and an observance of SR principles figures highly among them. Yet there is a gap between academic employees, for whom such a duty is a direct consequence of their core mission, and university administrators, who operate on differing premises. Still, we show why universities are in a unique position to set an example of top level socially responsible institutions. Their advantage consists of both internal expertise and a sustained pressure that employees put on everyone in their surroundings, including the top administration.
