In the globalization process corporations have been gaining power without engaging in the advancement of the common good for all stakeholders. In spite of the fact that we accept the positive effects of the globalization, the negative effects of the foreign investment in any kind to the different stakeholders such as the environmental damage, financial market instabilities, exploitation of employees, consumer’s exploitation, erosion of traditional community life have increased the debates on the accountability of foreign corporations. It is obvious that it is no longer acceptable for corporations to violate the basic norms of worker, consumer or environment in less developed countries whereas they behave more consciously in the developed countries. This paper reviews corporate citizenship elements and presents the current findings of an empirical research concerning the situation of the American and European companies operating in Turkey in terms of Corporate Citizenship with the conclusions to stimulate the accountability of the corporations.
