Abstract: Corporate philanthropy is an important aspect of CSR. Corporate philanthropy policies demand more and more that employees and voluntary workers commit themselves to non-profit organizations. This study of corporate volunteerism, which focuses here on two leading French companies, illustrates how policies may be designed outside unions' sphere of action, or on the contrary, as an element of the social dialogue. Unionists take an interest in corporate volunteerism, but regard it as peripheral to union action, whatever the consequences of corporate volunteerism on employees' working lives might be. This relative inattention on the part of unions can be explained by the different definitions of citizenship implied by trade unionism and corporate volunteerism, which entail very different, indeed antagonistic, visions of employees' relationship to the company and relations between the private and the professional worlds.
